Mets Homers vs. Hall of Fame Pitchers

[Gwreck]

5 Mets have homered against 7 or more pitchers in the Hall of Fame: Kranepool, Agee, Garrett, Piazza, and Swoboda.  EDIT: Milner had 6 victims (thus is what I get for outsourcing data).

Who were the victims?

 

[Chad ochoseis]

How are we doing this? Name a Met and a victim, or name the whole set?

I'll start with a Met-victim pairing. Kranepool pairs nicely with Marichal.

 

[Gwreck]

Fair question.  A Met and a victim works.  Marichal is correct for Kranepool.

Milner --> Carlton

Bob Gibson famously threw at Milner during a spring training game. Not that Gibson needed a reason to throw at people, but I'll guess that Milner hit a home run off him at some point in his career.

Clendenon probably did a number on Ferguson Arthur Jenkins at some point.

[Gwreck]

We’re looking for Garrett (not Clendenon); apologies for the typo.  But Jenkins works for him too.

[Chad ochoseis]

I don't remember who Piazza hit his post-9/11 home run off of, but it could have been Smoltz. In any event, Piazza-Smoltz.

[The Hot Corner]

Tommie Agee took Jim Palmer deep in the 1969 World Series.

That's a helluva typo!

Let's give Piazza a Randy Johnson ticket.

[Fman99]

Piazza -> Glavine, presumably 

[metirish]

Pizza hit a good few against Pedro Martinez

Piazza never got Pedro while playing for the Mets.  He has 3 against Pedro as a Dodger and 3 against Pedro as a Padre.

[Fman99]

I will guess Agee -> Carlton 

[Chad ochoseis]

Is it just me, or are other people seeing Gwreck's posts as blank? 

I'm on an Android. I haven't tried checking from a laptop yet.

@Brock Beauchamp

the last update by Gwreck is a large blank space on my computer as well.

[MFS62]

IIRC, Swoboda took Carlton twice in lefty's 19 strikeout game.

Yep.

Lotsa blanks, and I'm on my PC.

But I switched to dark mode and what was blank is now visible.

Heheh, their post set the font color to white, making it quite difficult to read on a white background.

[Edgy MD]

I like to think that Ed Kranepool brought shame upon the House of Niekro once or twice.

[metsmarathon]

Piazza definitely got Clemens, but… ohhhhh…. Sorry. 
 

not sorry. 
 

piazza  - maddux

[Edgy MD]

Kranepool was a Met and Jenkins was a Cub.

Kranepool was a lefty and Jenkins a righty.

The wind tended to blow out at Wrigley.

I'm guessing Krane must've parked one or two against Fergie.

[Gwreck]

Sorry for the font issue.  I typically am using an iOS mobile on dark mode (for which there are text edit options of bold/italic/underline but not font color).

Piazza/Pedro

[metirish]

I'll surprised with Piazza /Pedro 

 

Piazza - Hoffman 

[Benjamin Grimm]

How about... Agee / Don Sutton?

He pitched only twice against the Mets during Piazza’s years.

Looks like Pedro plunked Mikey in his first at bat, Castillo replaced him, and hit a homer!

Piazza goes 1-4
