Memories of Zach Muckenhirn

[Edgy MD]

So excited were we by the (technical) re-acquisition of Chris Flexen that we never took the time to honor Zach Muckenhirn on the way out the figurative door. Unfortunate!



Zach had the peculiar record of appearing in three games on behalf of the Mets cause — one each in Detroit, Washington, and Pittsburgh. So while he was once (and may yet again be, I pray) a New York Met, he was never a New York New York Met — never appearing in a game while rockin' the pinstripes, or even the Friday Night Black. That is lamentable.



Post your Muckenmemories here!

I would have loved to have heard Ralph try to pronounce Muckenhirn.

Slid in ahead of Justin Verlander on the all-time chronological roster.

Liked to puff his cheeks while pitching.

Very blowfishy in that regard.



Also, his first big league inning in Detroit allowed him a part in all three outs on defense, starting a nifty double-play and hustling over to cover first for the third out.
