Interesting that to date Cone is the lone ex-Met to win a Cy Young Award. You mean not including Mike Scott, of course. Now I'm declaring myself the double winner of this quiz.

I think Mike Scott is the most fascinating pitcher ever to pitch for the Mets.

Maybe R.A. Dickey in second. Two Cy Young winners, too! So there.

Right back atcha, Cy Young Guy!



You should see the time I did the St. Crispin's Day speech in 2 minutes 5 seconds whilst surrounded by naked women bent on distracting me.



I then recited all the Warren C. Giles Trophy winners just to be a dick.

[batmagadanleadoff]

How bent were they?

Still missing a bunch of bonus Cy Guys

Clayton Kershaw.



And a protest vote for Dwight Gooden, who should've also won it before he became an adult.

Like calling the Highlanders the MFY, Boston Pilgrims the Red Sox, or Philadelphia Blue Jays the Phillies, the franchise adopts current day vernaculars

[Edgy MD]

Really? That shit happened, man. The Blue Jays were a thing.

[Willets Point]

They could've used some Guardians on Ten Cent Beer Night.
