It'll need to be blown up to the point where it's probably worthless, but I found Espinoza

No need for multiple posts
Allen Watson at the metliest I could find him

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Thanks everybody. I've used twelve of the above photos (and may come back for more.) The Ultimate Mets Database now has photos of 645 of the 771 Mets, or 83.657587548638132295719844357977 per cent. (I decided to round the number to 30 decimal places.)

A few of those photos, I noticed, were from a site called hackwilson.org. I was curious, and visited its home page, which didn't tell me much: http://www.hackwilson.org/

Anyone know anything about this site? The name intrigues me.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

The Jaime Cerda photo looks great. I'm thrilled to have contributed something to the UMDB

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

You already contributed plenty, Scarlet, when you were the ringmaster behind that whole Billy Wynne scheme.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I was more like Hoover in Animal House - "We can't have a toga party. We're on double secret probation, whatever that is."

Bret - "TOGA! TOGA! TOGA!"

Billy Wynne, unusually popular Met. Hee, hee!

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

Would you girls like to see my imitation of a zit?

[A Boy Named Seo]

Yancy, that domain's one of mine. I had all those pictures stored on a computer and just pushed them to that site. I've got to dress it up now that peeps are peepin'.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Ah, Billy Wynne.

That right there is one high-quality thread: Discussion of a Beastie Boys video & lyrics, Jim Carroll lyrics, a visit from my favorite Cranepooler, Purveyor of Pomposity IV, all wrapped up in a completely worthless yet time-consuming pursuit of Met history. I see SI Metman still uses the avatar I loaned him, and all turned out OK as an angry database guy turns out to be a forgiving Yancy Street Gang.

As I recall it, I was interested in who Billy Wynne really was, and was inspired to do the ranking thing by an article in the New Yorker in which the author bought several copies of the same book from Amazon to experiment with how its "most popular" rankings were affected.

That's a great Middlebrook pic. I don't think you'll be finding much better in terms of background or blue hat.

Tony Castillo


Eric Cammack


Hinchliffe, his 2 innings and 8 earned runs


Jorge Velandia


Do you need to see the front of the cap? If not, Bob Gallagher



Danny Garcia, this time in blue


DeJean looking DeJected

[Willets Point]

I just looked up Billy Wynne for old-time's sake. Looks like YSG found a picture for him at last.

[Guest cooby]

I predict a surge of Billy Wynne lookups. I just did

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Only four missing faces from that 1967 team.

Hey! Tom Seaver got large again.

[Guest cooby]

He got invisible over in the book forum, I just posted as a guest

[Guest Edgy DC]

He still looks medium-sized form my seat.

Brad Clontz, from the fraternity of Met sidearmers.


IN a switcheroo, his insignia is photoshopped off. His cap looks a little dark, and this may be him at Shea, but pitching for the Braves or somebody.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Bob Rauch.

And Bob Johnson, who really rocked the casbah that year, is one of them.

A clearer Alejandro Pena

[seawolf17]

Big enough Jerry Martin? And a floating-headed Don Rowe?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Is Pe�a the most confident looking pitcher or what?

[Zvon]

Hey, great response here from the board.

But no photoshoppin?!

I figure we could definately close out that list with a little of that.

Like this Bob Johnson:


Ill look thru my image library and see what i can find.
Some may be group pictures where im not to sure who the 'ell is in it,lol.
And more likely B&W.
