Some choose not to celebrate what February 14th represents.Some have too many memories of broken promises and heart wrenching disappointments.
And thus a holiday was born: Valentine's Day.
Because what better icon to represent broken hearts and failed relationships than Ellis Valentine, who broke hearts and failed in his relationship with the New York Mets in 1981 and 1982?
You sacrifice and sacrifice and sacrifice, and get nothing in return. And that is Valentine's Day in a nutshell. Did you know that Ellis led the Mets with seven sacrifice flies in 1982? Ah, good times.
But believe it or not, Valentine's Day can also represent love. And Ellis Valentine loves kids.
So when you sit at home alone on this Valentine's Day, know that Ellis is there for you. Ellis loves you.
Happy Ellis Day.

I think I did that during the '86 season too. I vaguely remember that.
