One fact and go

[RealityChuck]

He was never confused with Pedro Martinez.

Sean Fitzmaurice.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Like Aaron Heilman, a product of Notre Dame.

(Real fact) Teddy Martinez?

[Frayed Knot]

Teodoro (Teddy) Martinez was one of several infielders pressed into emergency outfield duty down the stretch in 1973 due to a rash of injuries.


Masato Yoshii?

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Teammate of ex-Mets Kaz Ishii and Shingo Takatsu for the 1995, 1996, and 1997 Yakult Swallows.

Tim Spehr

[Guest patona314]

lifetime .198 hitter

George Theodore?

[Guest Iubitul]

Injured in a horrific outfield collision with Don Hahn in 1973.

Don Hahn?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Don, like Jerry Grote, makes an appearance in "Two Brothers with Checks" by Ultramagnetic MCs:

Yeah this is a story about two brothers with big big checks

and pretty white Cadillacs; and they was fly from the South

So check it out..

[Ced Gee]

My wicky wicky style is unbearable for this world and the planet boy

I swing at the store, buy a lunch, play LaCroix

Supercat chasin rats, with chemicals at the bottom

I'm givin gold with enzymes, connections I got em

One thing, two things, like ? blow Casey

Recto and Smekto, go get my boy Luce (LET'S GO!)

Let's see Babe Grim and his exoskeleton

He's pitchin a fastball, you swing and you miss

But seven times away clown, you're smellin the piss

drippin offa your forehead, rollin down to New Mexico

You're caught in a bid troop, you thought you was flexible

X-able, Montreal Expos

Hypodermic you turn it, you pick it up and you learn it

Now you're chillin with zinc as it kicks with the sodium

Pele came down just to sign some autographs

He laughed and he left, went to El Segundo

For cheese and some bacon my Philadelphia steak 'em

I got a hole in my pants, I said, "Asalaam alaikum"

Got a new jacket was breakin out to the trainin camp

I danced and danced and danced and danced

and danced and danced and danced.. then I sat on the toilet!

Wrote a rhyme and then ordered, now I'm spinnin and winnin

Got the girlies up on it, cause I'm kickin and stickin

Finger-poppin and lickin, can you do me a favor

Can you go get the chicken - as you see we're a legion

When we roll we're just easin, up to Egypt and Pakistan

There's never no treason, cause we're -- "treated with respect"

Chorus: Ultramagnetic MC's

Two brothers with checks, yo that Caddy is fly

San Francisco, Harvey

{repeat chorus 3X}

[Kool Keith]

Drivin from Cooperstown, swingin like Don Hahn

Rhythm X in the batter's box

Thurman like Munson, left while I swing right

and change courses and dialogue

Regional Atlanta, Alabama Savannah

I kick a rhyme like a ball to Indiana

Missouri, Kentucky, like Dent, call me Bucky

Rogers I'm nice, I float in space wild

Dr. Smith, I'm dope, yo watch Sparky Lyle

As I throwback a spitball, my slider and check back

The stadium's packed rope, the people should get back

and walk to the plate, yo Jerry Grote, pause

Swing swing swipe! I get MC's on my third strike

My hot dog is done, I'm in the dugout, check it

I know I wreck shop, tip-top, heads bop, heads drop

and many rappers get senile

Back to the plate, see the catcher, pitcher

You in the audience man, you be the fan

Like Supercat, Don Don Dada

I play the field in New York, and hit Jamaica

Like Giants I roll like San Francisco, Harvey

No time for rats with cats in Bristol playin

I'm makin moves.. yo man..

{repeat chorus 4X}

[Ced Gee]

Yea yea yea yea yea yea yeahhhhh..

"Alright, you win, I'll take you to Fair Lanes

Just turn off the heat! Aowwwwwwwwawowwwwww!!"

[Kool Keith]

Ha ha ha ha hah!

[Ced Gee]

Yo, now I'm stylin profilin troop like I'm rip-rarin Cadillac

We got big checks in our banks on the street, yeah

[Kool Keith]

Pickin up, swingin that bat like Joe Morgan

Catchin that beat like Ray Fossey, Oakland

Cashin them checks up at the Chemical

[Ced Gee]

We might cash em in Oakland, San Francisco whatever

Pick up honies in Cleveland, with the game so damn clever

[Kool Keith]

As I roll like I'm Charlie Hough, kickin that ball down

The crowd is wild, need the gas for a mile

[Ced Gee]

So let's roll out and catch em, fire points by the parrish

Make a record like this, as we drive through the city

[Kool Keith]

Ci-ty, ci-ty, ci-ty, ci-teeeeeee..

[Ced Gee]

Cause we're

Ed Glynn?

[soupcan]

Sold dogs at Shea prior to pitching for the Mets.

Ron Hodges?

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Left-handed hitting catcher.



Jason Isringhausen?

[Willets Point]

Reviewing that lyirc sheet, Charlie Freaking Hough also gets a moment in the sun.

Wore No. 44 to remind him of the round he was drafted in.

Rico Brogna?

[Guest sharpie]

Was a good fit with the Phillies after being traded from the Mets.


Garry Templeton.

[Willets Point]

Is a good fit coaching football at his alma mater.

Rafael Santana?

[RealityChuck]

One of the few players traded directly from the Mets to the MFY. I believe he was the first to do it as a non-waiver trade.

Bob Friend.

[Guest patona314]

led the nl in wins w/22 in 58 for the dreaded pirates

richie (dead man) zisk?

Ignoring my arson atempt on page one, let's try to keep it in house.

Nailed at the plate at the end of the famous ball of the wall play.

Cleon Jones?

[stevejrogers]

Only uniformed Met personel in the Met HOF who's bust is not wearing a uniform



Hank Webb

[RealityChuck]

When he won one of his games, he appeared on Kiner's Korner with Tom Seaver; Seaver did almost the interview.

Randy Tate

[Guest patona314]

mackey sasser?

Coaches for a college team and has been invited to join this forum, but has yet to respond

Ron Gardenhire

Wally Backman?

[Guest Iubitul]

Made the first out in the 10th inning of game six...
Scored on Dykstra's walk-off homer against the Astros...

Tim Teufel?

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I don't think Mackey was ever actually invited here.

I know I didn't extend an invitation.

[stevejrogers]

Didn't Cooby try?

Anyway, Teufel because of quoting from the Letter of Paul to the Romans tends to get himself in hot water with autograph seekers at card shows!

Al Pedrique

[Guest patona314]

Pedrique sparked some controversy as manager in 2004 when he ordered the Diamondbacks pitching staff to intentionally walk Barry Bonds throughout an entire three-game series against the San Francisco Giants from September 10 to September 12, since Bonds was on the verge of hitting his 700th career home run, which Pedrique did not want to happen at Bank One Ballpark. This move contained no strategy, and many later viewed it as an example of professional cowardice.

Ralph Kiner?

[Guest iramets]

Afflicted with Bell's Palsy.

Jay Bell.

[stevejrogers]

One of several 2003 Mets (Cone, Tony Clark and a couple of others IIRC) who if one or two made the team due to their Minor League contract status would have been nice stories, but because ALL of them made it it was a sign of real concern for that season.

Wally Whitehurst

(314 - point of order. Kiner never wore a Mets uniform, but he did visit us here at the CPF a few months ago)
