"You mean Throneberry? He just missed the cut. Marv came about as close to being inducted into this club as you possibly could without actually making the grade."

"I still don't know why they didn't ask me to join their club? I never called anyone a ****, either. Not even my wife. Though I did call her vagina a ****, once. Is that OK?"

This is a tricky one.

My first thought was a Blue Jays connection, but Fortunato doesn't seem to have one.
Then I thought it was a "season missed due to injury" connection, but Alomar/Benitez didn't do that.
Then I thought it had something to do with trades, but Macdonald wasn't traded at any point.
But the "hint" makes me think it has nothing to do with anything.

So lost.

(If I ever get one of these right, I have a quiz to give.)

If it's a Blue Jays connection, then why wouldn't Lee Mazzilli or Mookie Wilson or dozens of others be in this exclusive club? If it's a season missed due to injury, then why isn't Matt Harvey in the club?

I got this one but no easy access to an anagrammer. Their names all include the letters. Very funny, very juvenile.

The other one stumps me.

Right click on the image you want to post and select "copy image location". A link to that image is now pasted into your clipboard.

Use the paste function to paste that image link from your clipboard into your proposed post.

Highlight or select the image link and then use the IMG function key located at the top of the box where you compose your post.

The format should look like this:

Alternatively, you can use the fimg= key to control the size of your image ----- [fimg=n]image link[/fimg] where n is a number you select and insert to determine the image size.

"I'm Rick Cerone. I'm in this Mets club, too. That's me on the cover of a Mets scorecard. I'm doing my Sinatra imitation. He never cursed. And neither do we. Did you figure out what it takes to get in this club? I can't tell you because they might then red-light this post."

"Chuck Taylor reporting for club duties. I'm a 70s guy. So what say we play my favorite 70s game -- Match Game?
OK, ready? I'll give you a clue and youse have to fill in the blank. Members only. OK. Our first clue is 'blank a-doodle-doo. Blank a-doodle-doo'. Fill in the blank, club members."

Hola! Looking to join a club around here!



Sure thing! You can join this club I’m in. But through the other entrance though.



Yeah, I may be the charter member around here, but I’m still not allowed to use that other enterance! *sigh*



Hopefully you’re catching on, as there are two members not accounted for, at the present time.

Yes, but such an exclusive one that we aren’t a part of, either way! Well not yet anyway ;)

Ding! Ding!

Met broadcasters in the Hall proper like Seaver and Ralph, or Frick Award winners like Murph, Nelson, McCarver and Buck Canel, who worked in the Spanish booth in the 1970s.

"Hey! I want to be in a club!"


"Yeah, good idea. Let's make one."


"Can us old guys be in it?"


"How about us really old guys?"

"
"Hey, any club that includes guys like us must be important."


"Man, they just let anyone in here."


"I'm here too, but Seawolf said there were too many of us to come up with individual quotes."


"So what's the criterion for membership?"


"I don't know, but I guess I'm in."


"Can I be here?"


"Well, Bobby, technically, no. Although you might think so, it's really only on a technicality."


"There are FOUR other guys who should be here too, all from 1999 or afterward..."
