Oops I'm Gonna Do It Again

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm still trying to get our first actual Mets player to visit us here. An invitation I extended a few months ago appears to be reviving itself. (No, it's not Joe Christopher.) I don't remember if I mentioned this one here, but I think I did. I'll reveal more if this thing begins to look as if it will happen.

So long as it isn't Ed Glynn.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Glynn would be great.

[Benjamin Grimm]

We'd all ask him about hot dogs, I imagine.

No, it's not Ed Glynn.

I guess we could play Twenty Questions or something.

Yancy your a gamer, I hope the mystery guest shows up this time.

1) Does he have an hispanic surname?

No.

(This will only work if nobody posts any questions until previous ones have been answered.)

[metirish]

Has he played for the Mets in the last twenty years?

[Guest sharpie]

Was he a pitcher?

[Guest Iubitul]

Is he The Stork?

4) Was he an outfielder?

YES.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Is he white?

YES.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ok, we're probably down to about 60 Mets here. Maybe 55 if you only count the living.

Fifteen questions to go.

[metirish]

Is this mystery player currently involved in Professional Baseball as a coach or Front Office type?

[Guest Iubitul]

Bueller, Bueller, anyone?

I'm not absolutely sure, but I think the answer is probably NO.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ooh, ambiguity and a continuing dis' of Iubitul.

Use Google, man.

That would be problematic, for reasons I can't say yet.

Not meaning to dis anyone, but I'm only answering one question at a time to avoid going crazy.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Did he play in any postseason games with the Mets?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Did he predate Yogi Berra's managerial tenure at all?

[Benjamin Grimm]

YES.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Twelve questions to go. We have a white outfielder (though not necessarily exclusively so) who debuted before 1972, who, if he played in 1969, did not appear in the post-season.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Did he bat lefthanded?

[Guest sharpie]

Was Roy McMillan his teamate?
