A Met and a...

[Willets Point]

Saw this on Faith and Fear in Flushing and thought it would be fun to try here. Basically you just need to try to list a player who first comes to mind as someone who played for the Mets and played for another team for each team in MLB.

I didn't mention this but you're not supposed to repeat any players, so Zeile and Franco can only be used once each.

I think Bobby V would count as a player for both the Mets and Rangers as well.

on edit: Nope, he played for a bunch of teams but the Rangers weren't one of them.

You can probably use these to chart the depth of Met disappointment over the years--names like Ryan and Otis continue to scar me.
