Stupid Game

[Centerfield]

Hahn Solo and Transmonk totally own this game.

[Valadius]

Hahn's got it. I had to get creative to make it fit, as we haven't had anyone with a Lincoln in their name yet, so I had to go with Ramon Abraham Castro. But yes, they fit all the circulating denominations of U.S. dollar bills (believe it or not, they still make $2 bills). Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Hamilton, Jackson, Grant, Franklin.

[HahnSolo]

The feller on the right














Incidentally, that's apparently Keith's Mrs. above. Wifey Watch Alert!

[HahnSolo]

No guesses at this one? The Reyes photo may provide a hint.

they all led the club in runs?

lets try to do 1 at a time hahn, this could get chaotic otherwise

[HahnSolo]

Agreed. I'll save that for later.

Not the answer I'm looking for. As I said, the best clue probably can be found in the Reyes photo.

[stevejrogers]

Since Carter and Mex are NOT stolen base artists, I'm going with led the Mets in Total Bases?

[nymr83]

they all got dirty alot?
they all foolishly slide hands-first?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Don Hahn never led the club in any offensive categories.

[stevejrogers]

I'd also say they played every inning of a World Series, but that leaves out Reyes.

The only way Carter and Mex could steal a postseason base would be on a double steal...

[Benjamin Grimm]

I suspect it has something to do with triples.

They all hit postseason triples for the Mets?

[soupcan]

Inside the park homeruns?

[HahnSolo]

The big orange guy got it.

All hit postseason triples as a Met

[Guest Edgy DC]

Only one did it in a tux.

For those of you who are browser-impaired, the pictures above are of Lou Thornton, Gary Gentry, Kevin McReyonlds, Rich Chiles, John Stearns, John Milner, Ron Darling, Dick Schofield, Dennis Musgraves, Kevin Tapani, Mike Torrez, Darryl Hamilton, Chico Walker, Dave Gallagher, Bill Almon, Terry Blocker, Ken Boswell, and George Theodore. They're alphabetized not by name, but by the thing that qualifies them for this list.

Not pictured, but could have been:
Marlon Anderson, Terrence Long, Craig Brazell, Sammy Drake, Larry Bowa, Leon Brown, Danny Boitano, Doug Henry, Fernando Vina, Ron Herbel, Greg Harts, Rick Waits, Tony Phillips, Moises Alou, Sid Fernandez, Gary Thurman, Tim Bogar, Larry Miller, Mike DeJean, Kenny Greer, Chad Bradford, Dan Wheeler, Jerry Martin, Pete Schourek.

The not pictured list is also in alphabetical order.

Good luck! I think this is probably unreasonably difficult, but knowing this group, somebody will probably get it within five minutes.

[HahnSolo]

Alpha order based on the state they were born in?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Hit and/or surrenders pinch hit home runs?

[Valadius]

All born in state capitals.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Hahn is onto something.

[Benjamin Grimm]

And Valadius has it!

[Gwreck]

[Valadius]

Um... it's my turn, Gwreck.

[nymr83]

wtf, dont pull a rogers!

[Gwreck]

Apparently I missed the rules here somewhere. Feel free to ignore mine.

when you get the previous one right its your turn. i've had one sitting around for days because i'm never going to answer one correctly. sadly i would have gotten yancy's if i'd seen it first since it is easily determined from the limited biographical data on baseball reference and thats my first stop

[Valadius]

[Gwreck]

They're all sons of major league ballplayers.

So now I am no longer out of turn.

[Valadius]

Correct. Now it is your turn.

[Guest Mendoza Line]

They're all commonly known by their middle names.

[Gwreck]

Correct. I coulda sworn there were some others but those were the only 4 Mets I could think of.
