kcmets Old-Timey Member Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 I'll never get the crazy beard thing like the guy on the first left picture. Ifhe's getting laid walking around with that thing well gosh bless him.

Our first two contestants have come up hairless! Hint: All of these guys played for the team at an overlapping juncture and likely sported their beards at the same time!
Johnny Lunchbucket Old-Timey Member Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 The first guy is... Bobby Parnell!

Johnny Lunchbucket Old-Timey Member Posted March 16, 2020 Posted March 16, 2020 I think #2 is also Bobby Pee

Fake points for you!!!Numbers one and three were Mets at the same time but ultimately moved to some new, darker house.

Johnny Lunchbucket Old-Timey Member Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 That's the Chipotle Rocketman, Jack LeathersichI used to be his adoptive parent. Just checked up on him to discover his Twitter account has been suspended. What'd he get into now?https://twitter.com/LeatherRockethttps://twitter.com/LeatherRocketI found him on LinkedIn. He was released by the Pirates, Indians and finally the Rangers and has resurfaced as a sales a guy for a Massachusetts logistics/material handling company.

Hayes while your opponents just stubble along.Here's about as well-sculpted a Metsbeard as you'll find. You couldn't make a better beard with three hours, a magnet, and a box of iron filings.https://www.nj.com/resizer/YtFB8ZJI3b5omQqr63TlZ6g1b0E=/450x0/smart/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-advancelocal.s3.amazonaws.com/public/MR4J2D2CYFHQJBGN7VFCV3I6GY.JPG>

Let's pick this up after dinner on Name! Those! Mets! BEARDS!

Edgy MD Site Manager Posted March 17, 2020 Author Posted March 17, 2020 That's great stuff. Man, wouldn't it have been great if "Home of Dana Brand" was the first association that popped into people's heads when Newtown, Connecticut was mentioned?

You get, um, 12,000 points.But if you get something wrong, you might win a fake home edition.
batmagadanleadoff Old-Timey Member Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 Where the hell did Zvon go? He'd be a whiz at this. He's great with Mets faces. Probably even Mets half-faces.With the other half shaved off.
