WWII Veteran Seymour Weiner, who became a social media icon and memorable name after being featured a Mets “Veteran of the Game” last season, has passed away. He was 98.

Weiner’s quick notoriety inspired the Mets to do a “dollar dog night” with his name on its advertising. “It’s been so enjoyable,” Weiner told The Athletic last year. “In no way does it annoy me. Just look at all the notoriety I got out of it!”














Today, we all see a little less Weiner. RIP

Texas Longhorns have a baseball pitching coach named Max Weiner.

That's all I got.

Little known fact - Seymour’s sister lived in Germany, became a nun, and was a huge Hitler supporter.

They called her Nazi Weiner.

I’m sure Lou Skuntz is upset by this.

When I was in high school I took this class on WW2. For the ending project we all had to do some presentation on a topic we liked. I got a model B-24 Liberator and painted it up with all the decals and proper pain scheme and presented it describing what they all meant.

This girl who I had grown up going to church with was in there too. She was deathly shy and would normally sit on the edge of the classroom and not really participate. For her presentation she got up and wrote about a veteran her family knew and told his story. She didn’t get 10 seconds into it before she said his name, Harry Johnson. The moment she said it I burst out laughing and everybody looked at me like I was retarded. I said “I guess everyone here must be familiar with a hairy johnson” and immediately the whole class (teacher included) is dying laughing. This poor girl meanwhile is standing up in front of the class, beet red and now has to suffer through the rest of her presentation. Every time she said “Mr Johnson” myself or someone else would just start snickering. Her entire presentation was 5 minutes of her fumbling through this trying to find ways to not mention his name and have us laugh harder.

I found out she had a crush on me like a year later which I am sure made her day a true living hell. I never got with her but I did with her twin (true story).
