Met Trivia Question (#2)

[batmagadanleadoff]

These are the only four Met pitchers to have accomplished this feat in their MLB (not necessarily Met) careers:

Warren Spahn, Dean Chance, Dwight Gooden and Tom Glavine.

[u:j3ab8pkq]Hint #1[/u:j3ab8pkq]. It's a positive accomplishment; something each pitcher should be proud of.

[u:j3ab8pkq]Hint #2[/u:j3ab8pkq]. The answer to this question can be confirmed very easily, in any reasonably comprehensive baseball database. The answer to this question is not some obscure feat like least triples given up on a Thursday in June or something of that nature.

The following pitchers - Warren Spahn, Dean Chance, Dwight Gooden and Tom Glavine - are the only one-time Mets to have been the starting pitcher in two All-Star Games. Spahn ('58 and '61) Chance ('64 and '67) Gooden ('86 and '88) Glavine ('91 and '92) Good job.

The following pitchers - Warren Spahn, Dean Chance, Dwight Gooden and Tom Glavine - are the only one-time Mets to have been the starting pitcher in two All-Star Games.

Spahn ('58 and '61)
Chance ('64 and '67)

Glavine ('91 and '92)

Good job.
