Opening Day fun facts

[metirish]

Was I wrong about Shinjo or did I miss the point of this thread.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Johnny guessed Shinjo (correctly) in the second or third post of this thread.

="metirish":xlm3fylz]According to UMDB Shinjo came in a a pinch runner , Benny Agbayani was in the starting line up. I was going to guess Desi Relaford but that's not correct.[/quote:xlm3fylz] Sorry Ben Grim but I was asking if I was right about this.

Yes, Shinjo entered the game as a pinch-runner, but he was the only player to make his Mets debut in the first game of 2001.
