Peralta - Opening Day Starter

[Gwreck]

Little surprise but Freddy Peralta was named opening day starter.

He will be the 8th player to make his Mets debut as an opening day starting pitcher. And the others are…?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Tom Glavine...

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Mike Hampton?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Pedro Martinez

[Bob Alpacadaca]

MAX!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Roger Craig, of course.

[A Boy Named Seo]

I'm guessing Johan

[Gwreck]

All of these answers are correct except Scherzer. He was hurt (?)/delayed in starting his season in 2022 and Megill had the opening day start.

2 names left on the board.

Correct:

Tom Glavine, 2003

Mike Hampton, 2000

Pedro Martinez, 2005

Roger Craig, 1962

Johan Santana, 2008

Incorrect:

Max Scherzer

[A Boy Named Seo]

I'm going way out there - Kevin Appier.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Maybe Bret Saberhagen? I know Gooden was still with the team then, but he may not have been available for Opening Day for some reason.

[Edgy MD]

Mark Clark.

Just throwing that out there.

OE: Wait! Duh! Clay Holmes 2025!

[Gwreck]

Correct:

Tom Glavine, 2003

Mike Hampton, 2000

Pedro Martinez, 2005

Roger Craig, 1962

Johan Santana, 2008

Clay Holmes, 2025

Incorrect:

Max Scherzer

Kevin Appier

Mark Clark

Bret Saberhagen

[Edgy MD]

I went and checked on the Mark Clark answer, at which point I accidentally on purpose spied the last guy, so I am morally eliminated.

Totally guessable, though!

Don Cardwell 1967

[Gwreck]

There it is. Nicely done everyone.
