Anna Liffey's Irish Pub, Fairfield, Ct
2014.08.31 Anna Liffey's Fairfield, Ct
Saw this banner as I drove through Fairfield, Ct looking for a place to eat. Stopped in to some excellent food and decor. An Irish pub - Anna Liffey's - Liverpool and Chelsea scarfs hanging by the bar. But the 1994 World Cup banner with Tab Ramos' image was the draw!!!
The food was excellent - cheddar biscuits and sausage gravy for a late breakfast!!!

1996 - Bandai Tab Ramos
Image taken from Dash Action Figures
Bandai produced several figures for the MLS in conjunction with it's inaugural season. Each figure came packed with an Upper Deck trading card. The cards have an action shot on the front and a head shot and bio on the back.
Players issued:
Cobi Jones, LA Galaxy
Tab Ramos, MetroStars

Alexi Lalas, NE Revolution
Frank Klopas, KC Wizards
Hugo Sanchez, Dallas Burn
Doctor Kumalo, Columbus Crew
John Harkes, DC United

Eric Wynalda, San Jose Clash
I finally picked up a Tab Ramos, which I had kept putting off for another time. The back of the package shows all of the MLS figures as well as their 2" keychain counterparts.
The full figure is 4" tall with a green base, although the images on the back of the package show a white base. My figure still has the original $5.99 price sticker...

Cereal boxes
After Post Cereals issued cereal boxes with Alex Morgan and Omar Gonzalez, I decided to do some research on older cereal boxes that may have been issued:
1994 Kellogg's Raisin Bran - MLS Soccer Slam
1997 Kellogg's Raisin Bran
Marco Etcheverry (DC United) - - Carlos Valderrama (Tampa Bay Mutiny)
1996 Kellogg's - Alexi Lalas (KC Wizards) and Tab Ramos (MetroStars)
sold on ebay for $10.00
In 1996 Kellogg's featured several players for the inaugural season and continued to do so over several years. In 2002 Kellogg launched a special edition of it's Frosted Flakes cereal featuring the Kansas City Wizards following their 2000 MLS Cup Championship and the San Jose Earthquakes following their 2001 MLS Cup championship..
In 1999 Wheaties, famous for all of the athletes they feature on their boxes joined the women's soccer craze honoring members of the US Women's National team following the US Women's World Cup held in the US in 1999
2004 Taylor Twellman - Waffle Crisp
In 2004 Post issued 4 boxes featuring Taylor Twellman (New England Revolution), Landon Donovan (San Jose Earthquakes), Chris Armas (Chicago Fire) and Freddy Adu (DC United) on boxes of Alpha-bits, Waffle Crisp, Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Pebbles, Honeycomb, Strawberry Blast Honeycomb, Oreo O's, Golden Crisp and Marshmallow Alpha-bits. Each box offered a free footbag (hacky sack) with the MLS logo. Post is a product of Kraft foods, which became an official sponsor of the MLS in 2004.
2012 Quaker's Life cereal box featured Chicago Fire's Austin Berry. As sponsor of the Chicago Fire Quaker took it upon themselves to help promote Berry as the selection for 2012 MLS Rookie of the Year, which he was awarded...

Big event for Mike finally getting to meet and have his photo taken with Tab Ramos. He also had his photo taken with Diallo, who bent over to be in the picture. Diallo's coming to the MetroStars was not warmly received. Daillo had been remembered as having broken MetroStars' goalie Mike Amman's ribs, puncturing his lung and ending his career in an collision in 2000. Many felt the contact between the 2 players was intentional on Diallo's part. Diallo would play well for the Metros scoring 11 goals in 17 games including a 4-goal game against the LA Galaxy, his second game with the Metros...
