Classic NY Mets pictures

[Frayed Knot]

L to R: Keith, ?, Garvey, Kaat, ?, Brooks, Ozzie





Lotsa Gold Gloves at that table.

[Edgy MD]

Seventy Gold Gloves, to be precise. SEVENTY!



Good job. Two figures remain.

[metirish]

I know the guy to the left of Kaat , not a baseball player if I remember correctly

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, I'm going with former NYC Police Detective Bo Deitl between Keith and Garvey, and the Maitre'd between Kaat and Robby

[Edgy MD]

Not Bo Dietl.

The two as-yet-unnamed figures have both famously appeared on variety shows.

[metirish]

It came to me , Joe Piscopo , my head kept saying Joe Pepitone

[Edgy MD]

Piscopo is correct! No Gold Gloves but he is a member of The New Jersey Hall of Fame, so there's that.

Johnny Bench next to Keith?

Johnny Bench next to Keith?

[Edgy MD]

Johnny Bench next to Keith?

Yes! YESS!!!



The total is:



Keith Hernandez: 11 Gold Gloves

Johnny Bench: 10 Gold Gloves

Steve Garvey: 4 Gold Gloves

Jim Kaat: 16 Gold Gloves

Joe Piscopo: 0 Gold Gloves ... so far

The late Brooks Robinson: 16 Gold Gloves

Ozzie Smith: 13 Gold Gloves



TOTAL: 70 Gloves of Gold



I'd love to see someone try to bunt against a defense of Kaat at pitcher, Bench at catcher, Keith at first, and Brooks at third.

I would have gotten Piscopo (actually did think about guessing him) long before I guessed Bench.

Didn't see that one at all.

That's OK. We spoke with the judges and they all agreed that "Bo Deitl" was a much stronger guess than "unusually puffy Ron Darling."



I'm not sure Piscopo is an actual member of the party or is just coming by to shmooze. He does seem to be the only one standing.



Perhaps they were all invited to a Rawlings event and JP was the master of ceremonies or something.

Don't be sad. The Russian judge gave you a 9.8.

He didn't even pull out the hook.

Man, we used to love Nady here at the CPF

[metirish]

Man, what a great picture

[Benjamin Grimm]

That would make an interesting City Connect uniform. Just have the players dress in business casual.

From the movie Old Dogs, rather than a plainclothes celebrity BP session.
