Thats as far back as I got right now, can some one loan me a couple of grand for the 62 and 63 yearbooks or media guides? =

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

cool reference

[Guest Edgy DC]

See, that's the problem, a bit of corporate confusion. While I think that's the board right there, they tended to list directors and officers together in the yearbooks, but seperately in the media guides.

There might be eight officers, six of whom are board members, or six board members, five of whom are officers. They're listed there with their offices, and are only noted as "director" if they aren't officers. But what of the ones who are officers but not directors (like Casey and Weis would seemingly become)? It's hard to tell. Carlisle, for instance, may be a director and may not. The media guides listed directors and board members in two seperate columns.

[Guest iramets]

You mean George Weiss, of course, not Al Weis.

I hope you do.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Of course.

[G-Fafif]

Re: The post-'86 purge -- Remember that the team was technically sold that year, with Fred and Nelson buying out Doubleday & Co., which owned most of the club. There was bound to be a change in the Board following such a move. Some of the pre-'87 members were probably D&C execs.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Ggod point. I'm pretty sure that's what we're dealing with.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Nice work!

I may just steal some of this for the UMDB. I have some information about executives but it's kind of spotty.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, I'd kill you for stealing my work, but then who would maintain the UMDB?

I'm working on (1) completing this table with the early years, and (2) making a seperate table for the corporate officers, and maybe continguing with every bureaucratic level.

[Benjamin Grimm]

You mean you want to track all of those rows and columns of faces from the back of the yearbook?

Wow.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah.

I think a database isn't complete until we have the names and biographical abstract on every fan at every game.

And then every exhibition game.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Exhibition games don't count. But I'm with you on the rest.

Lou Niss, Traveling Secretary
Tommy McKenna, Trainer

For some reason this position was first seen in the 78 guide, and then not again untill Keith Cedro in 1987. Interestingly enough a big deal was made about Cedro's role as he got an article in a program that year, and was a uniformed personel (no number though)

[Guest Edgy DC]

I was just checking to see if my table was locatable.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Here's the trainer table, which, upon its original posting, was also challenged by Steve making a data dump.

Year	Head Athletic Trainer	Assistant Athletic Trainer	Trainer Emeritus
1962	Gus Mauch
1963
1964
1965
1966

[Guest Edgy DC]

OK, suit quiz coming.

The following players, I haven't been able to figure out who the agents are for these players.

Ambiorix Burgos
Mike Carp
Marcos Carvajal
Ramon Castro
Endy Chavez
Mike Di Felice
Matt Durkin
Pedro Feliciano
Carlos Gomez
Deolis Guerra
Anderson Hernandez
Ben Johnson
Brian Lawrence
John Maine
Fernando Martinez
Lastings Milledge
Kevin Mulvey
Cliff Nagoette
Juan Padilla
Steve Schmoll
Joe Smith
Jorge Sosa
Fernando Tatis
Lino Urdaneta
Jason Vargas


Now that that is out of the way, observe the two columns. Column A has a Met (or a near-Met). Column B has agents. Corrrectly match the Met in Column A with the agent in Column B. Note that Column B is shorter, as there are a few agents with more than one Met on their roster. Those agents have the number of Mets they represent in parentheses.

Sandy Alomar, Jr. Moises Alou Carlos Beltran Carlos Delgado Damion Easley Julio Franco Tom Glavine Ruben Gotay Shawn Green Aaron Heilman Orlando Hernandez Phil Humber Ricky Ledee Pedro Martinez Paul Lo Duca Guillermo Mota David Newhan Chan Ho Park Mike Pelfrey Oliver Perez Jose Reyes Duaner Sanchez Scott Schoeneweis Aaron Sele Jose Valentin David Williams Billy Wagner David Wright

Eddie Bane Chuck Berry John Boggs Scott Boras (4) Jeff Borris Gregg Clifton Paul Cohen CSMG (2) Fern Cuz, SFX Dave Elston Mike Fischlin Greg Genske (3) Peter Greenberg Hendricks brothers Adam Katz (2) Michale Moye David Pepe Mark Rodgers David Sloane Bean Stringfellow Williamson Bothers, ACES

[metirish]

Delgado - Sloane
Wright - Hendricks brothers
Pedro Martinez - Fern Cuz, SFX

Bean Stringfellow is ringing a bell,just not hearing it...

Beltran - Boras

[nymr83]

o. and p. are both Adam Katz...are these two people? if so can they be differentiated in some way (middle intial, company)

[metirish]

Carlos Gomez - Boras.
Glavine - Greg Clifton.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Bean Stringfellow, I believe, is Wagner's agent.

They're one. I meant to list him once. I'll edit.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

The depth of information available on this forum continues to amaze me!

Nice work, guys!

[Guest Edgy DC]

I ain't seen anybody submitting 28 answers yet.

I want my 28 answers!

[Gwreck]

Pelfrey was a Boras client when he signed after the draft. I believe the other Boras clients are Beltran (already mentioned), Scott Schoeneweis and David Newhan.
