We're still looking for the Met behind Door #3.

Come on, Met fans. This is very disappointing. C'est très décevant!

[kcmets]

It's the Giant #10, can't place it. Or not, I'm never wrong sometimes.

[Edgy MD]

No, it's totally #3.

[kcmets]

I know, just funnin'. With those ears, split front teeth and scraggly beard

you'd think he'd jump off the screen.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

The Mets can get a black eye from anything

[Frayed Knot]

#3 is Mr. Double State Capital: Austin Jackson

[Edgy MD]

Oh, thank heavens. Somebody saw a 2018 Mets game.

The random shots on the front page of baseball-reference are clearly weighted to give us more than a fair share of high-profile players, so I'm going to try once to generate a truly random set on my own, and we'll see how folks fare.



I suspect, poorly.

If anything, that batch is far harder than I suspected it would be, so scoring this round is increased by a factor of 10. (Just don't cheaty-cheat.)



Zero Mets there, by the way.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

7. Pete Browning

[Edgy MD]

7. Toad Ramsey, Louisville Colonels, St. Louis Browns, 1885-1890.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

My next guess would have been Chicken Wolf, who was also an 80s Louisvillian

[whippoorwill]

8. Opie Taylor representing Fuller Brushes

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I'll just throw a guess that 1 is Dummy Hoy

[Edgy MD]

8. Opie Taylor representing Fuller Brushes

[Benjamin Grimm]

8. Matt Ramsey has an ugly beard. If he does something about it, he may get another inning or two.

I'm guessing you mean WILLIAM Hoy, you unreconstructed hate-machine.



1. Charlie See, outfielder, Cincinnati Reds, 1919-1921.



Not a long career, but he got a World Championship share (though he didn't appear in the series) when the White Sox tanked in 1919.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

The No. 5 guy looks like Ross Jones but he was a former Met so it's prolly not him

[Edgy MD]

5. Don Crow, c, Dodgers, 1982. Four trips to the plate over four games, never reaching base, and whiffing four times. He did, however, catch one would-be base-stealer in five attempts against him.



You're right, however, about Ross Jones similarly rocking a real squirrelly mustache.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I feel like we should recognize #4. Joe Vitko

[Edgy MD]

Two Mets present. Feel free to name any others for big scores, but the round ends when we get our two Metsies.

[LWFS]

3: Haranggggg6

6. Tony Pena

10. Mr. Gwynn

[Edgy MD]

Sheesh. Show a little class. One answer at a time.



Where were you raised, anyhow?

[Edgy MD]

With all the ballplayers in MLB history, how do you end up having two shots of Mike Hargrove in a single array of a dozen portraits?

[Frayed Knot]

I noticed that minutes ago and was just about to post the exact same thing.

I wasn't sure whether to count that score as a 5 (I also got Maris, Strasburg, and Toriii) or a 4 since counting Hargrove as a right answer twice seems like cheating.

[ashie62]

3 Roger Maris

[Edgy MD]

Thanks for playing. Wasn't planning on scoring that array, though.

[Edgy MD]

Here's a good one. Twelve faces. Three Mets.



Feel free to name non-Mets for higher scores, but the round ends when our three Mets are in the bag.



ONE guess per post. NO consecuguessing.
