There is the technical possibility that Bill Mazur was born on a raft in the South Pacific or while his mother was skydiving. Not guesses, just.....possibilities.


Sure, it would be in keeping with the nickname "Amazing." If you get the question, we will be happy to consider "International Waters," "International Airspace," or "On Board an Orbiting Satellite" as responses.

        Sadly, more than six players have brought a Sox championship ring to Queens, and sadly, Keith and Bobby are not our two draftees who were picked twice.\

    Back in action and welcoming Bob Alpacadaca to the leaders' board.


    Third place! This game is great!



    My next guess is Jason Tyner.


    Well, that's well played, because Tyner gets you within a point of third place, to where you had backslid! And you are within spitting distance fo the top! And you know how to keep going up — with your BONUS QUESTION!

    1. [*]Which two Mets were drafted in the first round twice?




        Please note that Johnny Lunchbucket has been sitting on this question, and answering it correctly means you not only get big POINTS, but Johnny goes home empty-handed.




        speaking of 2019. marcus stroman.




        Somehow, Marcus' modest frame didn't scare off the big time scouts! At least, not the scouts for Toronto! And he didn't scare YOU OFF EITHER!



        And that's why you get FIVE POINTS!! And, OMIGOD! THAT MAKES YOU THE NEW LEADER BY A SINGLE POINT!!



        But wait … there's MORE!!

            Don Schulze.




            Now that's brain thinking. My main memory of Don Schultze was that, in his Mets debut, his uniform had been assembled so rapidly that his name instantly started peeling off of his back. You correctly recalled that he had been a first-rounder for the Cubs!!



            That's MORE THAN brain-thinkin'! That's FIVE-POINT brain-thinkin'! And a chance for MORE!!


            [th]Bonus Question for: Bob Alpacadaca from 11/15/2021[/th]

                ooh, ooh! preston wilson. regular guess.


                Craig Swan's fond recollections at Shea include him getting a call from the daycare center to report that his daughter got a wad of bubble gum stuck in Preston Wilson's hair. Preston got the last laugh as he was eventually drafted in the first round by the team and young Ms. Swan went unselected!



                Wait, Preston didn't get the last laugh! You did! Because you get three points!! You also get a chance to put some space between you and the field by racking up BONUS points as you answer the following, but only after you give me a less JIVE-INTENSIVE answer to the Bill Mazer question!

                    Yes, a-MAZE-ingly, our random question generator generated the same random question TWICE IN A ROW!! Our judges and technicians have examined the instrument and ruled that everything in good, working, well calibrated condition!! So marathon and Al Paca had better hurry to beat the other to this question!

          Lots of movement, especially by late entry Bob Alpacadaca! Marathon is trying to run away and hide, but he never will if he doesn't answer that Bill Mazer question!!


          Eddie Murray

          As noted above, Eddie has been guessed. No points off for you, THIS TIME!!




          Hubie Brooks

          Hubie amazingly got drafted SIX times, out of high school, junior college and Arizona State University. After turning down his first selection, the subsequent drafts were all secondary, but he was always a high pick. Ultimately he was waiting for a call from the Mets, who made his dream come true (AND YOURS!) when they picked him third overall in the 1978 draft!



          Three points! And bonus question FUN!

            • regular guess: matt harvey, who seems like the kind of guy to turn down a first round invite that wasn't quite good enough.


            Harvey is correct! A first-round phenom out of UNC! For you, that means three points and THAT MUCH more distance between you and the rest of the FIELD! Plus, you know, a swing at that BONUS QUESTION ACTION!!

          Rick Cerone


          You're thinking outside the shrink-rap there! Rick had played forever, and had long since faded into part-time status, but somehow showed up on the Mets in 1991 and led them in games caught. Did a half-decent job, too! As did you for remembering that Rick had been a first rounder a generation earlier, and that's why you get FIVE POINTS!



          I'm not saying you should audition to be a member of RATT, but you are OUT OF THE CELLAR!! Plus, you've earned a chance at the BIG MONEY with this BONUS QUESTION!!

          We're catching up on scoring some buttered bonus questions!



          broken open question:



          brooks & dunston


          Well, that's just operating out of order. Answer the regular question first!!



          Under any circumstances, no, Brooks and Dunnie are not the two Mets drafted in the regular edition first round first. Hubie would be an excellent guess, generally, as he was drafted a whole bunch of times, but back then, once you opted not to sign the first time, you fell into a secondary draft pool. We're only looking for guys picked in the first round of the primary phase of the draft.


          regular bonus question:



          178


          Assuming this is the "How many first rounders have been Mets?" question, this is a healthy guess but you're coming in high. The good news is that we have a high guess and a low guess on this question. We now have a finite range of possible answers.

          Well that crosses out one of your chances to attempt that question, but you still have bonitos on the board, and with them, further passes at that two-timer question.
