Joe

[batmagadanleadoff]

In one post?

[Cowtipper]

Joe is correct, and another one the Mets let go too quickly.

[Cowtipper]

Preferably not in one post. One per person, per post.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Dominic.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Charlie. a/k/a Charley.

[Cowtipper]

Dominic is correct. They wasted a roster spot on that guy for six years.



Charley is correct. He walked just 17 times in 531 PAs in 1965.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Dick.

[Cowtipper]

Dick Smith is correct. A dicksmith is someone who crafts dildoes at the dildo factory.

1962 Met Bob Smith. Wearing, I believe, his Mets uniform in a baseball card that identified him as being on the Redbirds.

1962 Met Bob Smith. Wearing, I believe, his Mets uniform in a baseball card that identified him as being on the Redbirds. This post is scaring me. I'm fairly certain that I could name the entire '62 squad easily. But I have no idea who this is. Am I developing amnesia?

..Oh wait. That baseball card. You changed the post. That's Bobby Gene Smith.



Infielder. I thought you wrote "pitcher".

[Cowtipper]

Bobby Smith. He was part of the trade chain that eventually got the Mets Don Cardwell.

Drew Smith is correct. He's a link to what is quickly becoming the Mets of yore, as he is what they got in return for Lucas Duda...almost 10 years ago.



Equally astounding is the Mets see enough value in Drew Smith to keep him around for nearly a decade, despite the zillions of other options out there at any given moment. Especially considering he's never really done much or had a real breakout with them, as he's averaged barely more than 30 appearances per year. He'll have that breakout by year 15, I swear!

I've got Lonnie on the brain, but sadly in nearly 20 years

he never donned the orange and blue....

[Cowtipper]

The last one is in fact the one I thought would be the hardest to guess.

Pete Smith



techically -- It was Bobby Gene Smith, or B.G. Smith, not Bob Smith or Bobby Smith

Edited April 28, 2025 by Guest

[Cowtipper]

Pete it is. One of the most inconsequential 11-year veterans of relatively recent memory I can think of.



I used to know him as Bobby Gene, myself, but Baseball Reference now just calls him Bobby.

[Cowtipper]

Take a look at my Johnson



Now, let's see if we can name the 8 men in Mets history with the surname "Johnson":



1. Howard Johnson, 1985-1993

2. Lance Johnson, 1996-1997

3. Bob Johnson, 1967

4. Bob Johnson, 1969

5. Kelly Johnson, 2015 & 2016

6. Mark Johnson, 2000-2002

7. Rob Johnson, 2012

8. Ben Johnson, 2007

Howard

[Cowtipper]

Howard is correct!

[Fman99]

Lance who had exactly one stellar season as a Met in 1996. Hit .333 and had 227 hits that year (second all time is Jose Reyes with 204 hits in '08)

Edited April 29, 2025 by Guest

[Cowtipper]

Lance is correct!

[roger_that]

There's Bob, and then there's Bob.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Kelly

[Cowtipper]

Bob, Bob and Kelly are correct!
