Was George Springer a Met last year and we didn't notice? Who is that in the upper left hand corner next to Davis? It looks just like Springer.



Maybe Fernando Vina?

I think that's Billy Hamilton (1 for 22 as a Met). He pinch-ran for McNeil and scored before Rosario.

I guess so? I had forgotten that Billy Hamilton happened. In any case, I picture Billy skinnier. And with braids.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I don't recall Hamilton with short hair at all.



Looking at the faces on this page: http://leaptoad.com/mets/metannual.php?ThisYear=2020http://leaptoad.com/mets/metannual.php?ThisYear=2020



Could it be Ali Sanchez?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Yeah I think it's "The Greatest" Ali

[Edgy MD]

OH, WHAT A NIGHT had a better story and a better photo, but they went overboard on overlappping, left too much photo-noise around the text and used a forced reference from a 45-year-old song about a 57-year-old sexual encounter.

[Benjamin Grimm]

OH, WHAT A NIGHT is also the last surviving cover that relates the outcome of a baseball game.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Loved the upbeat "Oh!" over the gloom.
