Kwiz Time

[Willets Point]

Dang! Five games short for the Say Hey Kid!

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm out the game now. Went ahead and peeked. I am confident I would never have guessed any of the remaining names.

[Edgy MD]

Tsuyoshi Shinjo, 23!

[LWFS]

DANGIT, quit takin' my girl, Edge



I'll go with Daryl the Late, Ton of Hamil. One of those 23s?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Edgy's just about iced this competition with a Mr Sparkle bonus shot. Also I left the correct (BONUS) Boston guess off from above.



So last 3:



A one season+ regular

A one-season only regularish-ish guy

A regular corner outfielder who did enough centerfielding over the course of a mutiyear Met run to qualify



1. Mookie 907 (Willets)

2. Beltran 723 (Ben Grimm)

3. Lagares 658 (Edgy)

4. Agee 591 (Sharpie)

Strawberry 52nd-48 games (Ben Grimm)

Ashburn 45th--54 games (Sharpie)

Mays 26th-- 95 games (Willets)

Hamilton 34th --78 games (LWFS)

[Edgy MD]

Kevin, Son of Reynolds, #21.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Just on the verge of clinching, that'll cost ya. Kevin Mac played but 34 times in Centerfield. Fewer than Gene Clines!! Less than Luplow and Dunkin and Austin Jackson!

[LWFS]

New Ween House, of Clan Kirk! [He says assuredly!]



Play him at fullback, slap #22 on his rack

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Kirk just missed the 100-game cutoff. He's 24th overall with 97 games

Whoah, I might have to sit tight.

[Willets Point]

Curtis Granderson, 21

[LWFS]

DAMMIT. That Grandy guess is a good one.



As for my next turn... the Butler did it? (#22)

[Edgy MD]

Winning isn't everything. I'll go with Carl Everett 21.

Everett just misses at 25th (96 games), Butler is 28th (90 games).



The 2 left are in my opinion the two hardest to remember.



One guy did well upon his arrival from a rival NL East franchise, then flopped the next year. The other guy stunk out of the box in a trade that really stunk out of the box.

Del Unser 15

Andrés Torres 21

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Our final talley (not reliable)



Edgy 5 right (3 points each), 10 bonus points (5 points each), -6 wrong answer points (3 @ 2 each) = 19 points total

Willets = 10 points

Ben Grimm = 4 points

Sharpie = 6 points

MFS 62 = 6 points

Gfafiff = 12 points (I reduced the value of the bonus points)

LWFS = 5 points

FK = 3 points

[Edgy MD]

I'd like to thank God, my parents, and Tsuyoshi Shinjo.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Is there any overlap in that group?

I just lurked on this kwiz, but I would have bet good money that you were talking about Juan Samuel here.

That was my first instinct but coming over in mid-June meant playing 100 games in center was unlikely.
