These guys are all great at wearing the same uniform # and having plump, girthy cocks. I salute all of them.

=MFS62 post_id=105089 time=1661270081 user_id=60]Many of us are wondering, but I'll ask the question.

How do you know that?

[Fman99]

I think the more valid question is, how do you NOT know this ?

[MFS62]

I haven't talked to Lindsay Graham.

Here's a quick one-off:



Who gave Gary Carter the nickname "Kid"?



If you get it, there's a followup.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Boris Yeltsin?

[Edgy MD]

Cold.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Gary Carter.

[MFS62]

Looking for Mets content here.

Ron Taylor? (I think he may have been the Expos team doctor when Carter was a rookie)

Boris Karloff?



I just checked Gary's wiki-page and Kid is there seven times but no

mention of who bestowed the nickname.

Gary Carter.

[kcmets]

It's only cheating if I looked it up and answered as if I knew.



I'm sure my feet still stink, but that's a given.

[Bob Alpacadaca]

It's always heard the name came from a pair for former Mets -- Mike Jorgenson and Ken Singleton.



Baseball needs more Gary Carter and Kids and fewer players who think of themselves as savages. Tragic that we won't have Carter at the Old-Timers Game.

[Edgy MD]

The correct answer is indeed Jorgensen.



Carter, by his account, was a teenage rookie kowtowing to the Expo vets when he was invited to watch, but not participate in, a card game among four vets. He eagerly attended, watched, and eventually Jorgensen said, "Hey, Kid, go get us some ice cream."



Singleton was a second member of the group. Which two other future Mets completed the fouresome?

[MFS62]

Dale Murray?

[Edgy MD]

Not Dale.



But man, this forum needs more Dale Murray content.

[MFS62]

We need more Pepe Mangual content, too.

Was he one of them?

Later

[Edgy MD]

Not Pepe. He may be a touch colder, but no more than a degree. Perceptible, but only by the most thermosenstiive.

[MFS62]

I'm busy now.

I'll tune in later for the next exciting chapter.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Ellis Valentine?

[Bob Alpacadaca]

Tim Foli!!

[Edgy MD]

Foli is one of our card sharks!



Ellis, if he was in camp with the Expos, likely would have been rookie (and a teenager) himself, as he didn't debut until the next season, so not Ellis.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Not for nothing, but Carter's "Kid" nickname was not given to him endearingly. It was given to him, more or less, in the same vein as Pete Rose's "Charlie Hustle".
