There was an Allen (or Alan) Watson. And a Tommy Davis.

Mineola's own John Valentin spent a long career with the Red Sox before finishing up with the 2003 Mets.

[Cowtipper]

John Valentin is correct!



Until disturbingly recently I thought he was from Latin America due to his surname.

[Edgy MD]

It happens. Just please don't use that as a pre-text to deport him.



José Valentín is from Puerto Rico, and also should be safe from deportation, but who the fuck knows?

[Cowtipper]

Jose Valentin is correct!

Not sure how I blanked on him. We saw him play here in town as a Syracuse Met as well.
