Mets, but fat Mets

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Vogelbach.



Now your turn.



If we get enough, then it's a separate thread: Mets Battle Royale

[Fman99]

Late career Mo Vaughn was pleasantly plump

[G-Fafif]

They're big-boned.



Ramon Castro.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Sid Fernandez, natch.

[G-Fafif]

Brooks Pounders was kind of full-figured, though with a name like Brooks Pounders, how could he not be?

[Frayed Knot]

Jack Fisher.

Not hugely fat but the round face enhanced the look.

[Lefty Specialist]

Mickey Lolich didn't miss too many meals.

[G-Fafif]

Athletic as hell, but not conventionally fit Bartolo Colon.

[G-Fafif]

Second-term Bobby Bo (also describes the lot of good he did us).

[Chad ochoseis]

Backup catchers are a bit pudgy almost by definition, but I remember Rod Barajas as being gutsier than most.

[Lefty Specialist]

Late-era Rusty Staub was fairly large.

[Edgy MD]

Butch Huskey could sadly not fully escape the curse of his name.

[Gwreck]

Tommy Hunter?

[batmagadanleadoff]

Livan Hernandez

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, I was totally cuing up Livan next.



Instead I'll throw down the Juan Uribe card.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Wilson Ramos was nicknamed Buffalo for a reason.

[Edgy MD]

George Theodore was pretty slender considering all those marshmallow milkshakes he threw back.

That was Fboy's offering to the conversation as well

[Edgy MD]

I can't think of anybody else. I'm just going pour myself some Hawaiian Punch.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Maybe not actually, but to me sorta looked like. Um heavyset?



Skip Lockwood

[Edgy MD]

Duke Snider was kind of rocking a Fred Flintstone look in his Mets days.

[batmagadanleadoff]

I've seen enough of Volegbach tonight. He's the all-time Mets fat winner.

[Frayed Knot]

Benny Agbayani rarely described with the word 'svelte'.

[roger_that]

Just on nicknames, Fisher was known as "Fat Jack," and Hal Reniff was nicknamed "Porky." Th-th-th-that's all, folks.

[ashie62]

Bartolo Colon.

Like the flanks of the Mets who appear in this thread, we're getting redundant.

[Fman99]

Redundant Flanks would be a great name for a plus sized burlesque show of some kind.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Speaking of redundant flanks, I don't know if it'd be fair to call Heath Bell fat, but he definitely had a pair giant sequoias for legs which were probably required by nature to support his (beer) barrel chest.

Oh, also, Bartolo Colon
