You got me stalled on "Family" I know I'll kick myself.

No Welsh. No Hands. (Look ma!) No Browning.

Yes, though, to Hooton!

Livan Hernandez

[Benjamin Grimm]

No.

In fact, none of the remaining names are active. The last time one of these guys pitched against the Mets was in 1997.

Bill Gullickson
Zane Smith

Ramon Martinez

Nope. Nope. And not Ramon Martinez either.

Maybe it's time for some clues.

Seven names remaining:

• There are two guys who share the same last name, but they're not related.
• There's another who's dead at the present time. (He died earlier this year.)
• One whose brother was also a big leaguer, but not as successful.
• Another started and ended his career with the same NL team, but spent the bulk of the middle of his career with another NL team.
• Another pitched for only one team in a career that spanned three decades.
• And the last guy is a Cy Young winner who never pitched in the post season.

Randy Jones

[Benjamin Grimm]

Nope, not Randy.

[MFS62]

Rick Sutcliffe

[MFS62]

Stan williams
Don wilson

[Benjamin Grimm]

Not Williams. Not Wilson. Not Sutcliffe.

[Guest sharpie]

Mark Davis. (This CYA guy is killing me)

[Benjamin Grimm]

Not Mark Davis.

[MFS62]

Blank stare,
but I think we may have a winner with Mark Davis.

[Guest sharpie]

Ferguson Jenkins.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm on a roll. Bob Gibson.

[Guest sharpie]

Nelson Briles for the newly dead guy.

[Benjamin Grimm]

He pitched for only one team in a career that spanned three decades.

He's dead at the present time. (He died earlier this year.)

[MFS62]

Has anyone mentioned Rick Wise yet (but I can't fit him into one of the clues)?

Later

[Benjamin Grimm]

Nope, not Rick Wise.

The remaining three all did the bulk of their pitching against the Mets in the 1980's.

Another hint: They're not all starting pitchers.

[Guest Edgy DC]

OK, I'll go with Lee Smith for a reliever, having had a considerable tenure with both Chicago and St. Louis.

I'll assume he's the name sharer, so I'll go with Zane, his twin of a different mother.

I'm jammed on the 22-year guy.

[HahnSolo]

Lee Smith and Zane Smith?

edit: beat me Edgy.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Lee is one of the Smith Brothers, but Zane isn't the other.

I don't know what you mean about 22 years. Here's the clue for the remaining guy whose name isn't Smith:

He started and ended his career with the same NL team, but spent the bulk of the middle of his career with another NL team.

[Guest sharpie]

We have the 22-year guy (Gibson). It's the guy who started and ended his career with one club but pitched a bunch in the middle for someone else.
