Ronald W. Garrett is the only other one I can think of.

I got nuthin', and it's crunch time at work, so I probably won't be checking the board very much for a while. I hereby designate Nymr as my substitute stupid gamer.

sweet! here we go...












(the last picture is Shawn Estes, i couldnt find one where his name was clearly visible that was also a relatively small picture)

[Guest Edgy DC]

I think what you're going for is "throw lefty/bat righty" guys, though wasn't Testes a switch hitter?

[nymr83]

yeah, i was confused by UMDB which has the following incorrect data:

]Aaron Shawn Estes Born: February 18, 1973 at San Francisco, Cal. Throws: Right Bats: Left Height: 6.02 Weight: 195

i saw "right left" and since i knew he threw lefty i assumed he batted righty without looking too closely to see that they had both wrong (i assumed they were just reversed)


baseball reference lists him as a switch hitter but then when i click "splits" it shows 582 plate appearences as a righty (440 vs. righties and 142 vs. lefties) which is his correct total.

so i'm not sure what to think.

[nymr83]

who is the guy in the aussie uniform? why two pictures of Thorn?

[Guest Edgy DC]

It's a mystery.

[Valadius]

The first picture is a red dot for me.

[nymr83]

the identity of the aussie is a mystery?

[Guest Edgy DC]

It's all a mystery.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Didn't seem that hard when I posted it.

[HahnSolo]

The first guy is still a mystery to me.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, the Aussie uniform pic was sustained in some places, not in others. So now you know you have a (can't believe I'm hand-holding) guy who has played for both St. Lucie and the Aussie national team.

But forget that. Focus on row two.

[stevejrogers]

Focus on Row 2? Brown and Doc share a birthday, Mann celebrates the next day, but AY was born on 1/19...

[seawolf17]

And unless it's some sort of "Back To The Future" thing with Doc Brown, I'm stumped.

[Guest Edgy DC]

No, it's not Doc Brown, but there is a character being referenced.

[seawolf17]

(Somebody) Twothorne Young Doc Man Brown?

I feel like I'm right there, but yet I'm not close at all.

[stevejrogers]

Holy Crap I think I got it!

Thanks to Google

]Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown"

[Guest Edgy DC]

Steve's right. The correct answer: OughThornes Young GoodenMann Brown.

[seawolf17]

Obscure. Nice work.

[Lundy]

They've all worked in the Mets broadcasting booth at one time or another.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I don't remember that Red X guy working the mic, but I think Lundy has it.

[stevejrogers]

Fixed, and yupper! All former Mets who went on to be regular broadcasters for the team. All on the TV side interestingly enough, Shamsky was one of the original Sports Channel voices and Buddy did a year in the SC booth in the early 80s. Of course we had Staub's run in the SC booth, Seaver's long run in WPIX/WB booth, and finally Gary Cohen's two booth mates in Keith and Ron.

[stevejrogers]

Taking a wild guess with the first names of the current living Presidents, Jimmy Carter, George Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush?

[Lundy]

Living presidents is what I was going for.

There hasn't been a Rudolph, Hillary, Mitt or Barack on the Mets, so it could be tough to do that one come 2009...

vote for Huckabee. Chuck Norris supports him.
