hit the double that caused the Rose/Fosse collision at homeplate that ended Fosse's career in the 1970 All Star game.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Didn't quite end Fosse's career, but good one.

Kingman was on a houseboat and nobody could reach him to tell him the 1981 strike was over.

Clever phrasings aside, let's try to keep the facts as fact-like as possible.

Lee Walls?

Do you just wake up and say, "I'm going to aggressively undermine things today"?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Lee Fuckin Walls Fact: He never got to play with the Mets.

Brian Boehringer?

[MFS62]

The fact I was looking for about Lee Walls - he was the first ever player traded from the Mets.

]December 15, 1961: Traded by the New York Mets with $100,000 to the Los Angeles Dodgers for a player to be named later and Charlie Neal. The Los Angeles Dodgers sent Willard Hunter (May 25, 1962) to the New York Mets to complete the trade.

Something I thought old-time Mets fans would have known and others found interesting. Wasn't trying to undermine anything.
