Mets Junk in the Trunk

Section 3 middle: Leo Foster I wouldn't blame you if you blamed it on Rigby, but that's not Leo Foster. Would Leo Foster be swinging a hammer?

I didn't see the Ham... JOHN MILNER?

Also, was blinded by Rigby's talent and missed the rules. Met-a culpa.

According to Rigby. That caricature sucked, didn't it?

I'm going to stop obsessing on Leo Foster now.

Top section 3 I THINK was identified in the Post as "Brown," as presumably Leon Brown, which I remember thinking "he probably means Leo Foster, but Rigby's Australian, what does he know?"

Anyway, Top Section 3: Leon Brown.

Damn, that's his name.
I could not remember.
I was thinking Ron or Rod. I knew his 1st name was 3 letters and started with an R. I think if I remembered it was Roy his last name would have come to me.

Get outta town, Brown! Are you saying that you haven't seen this piece in over 30 years but you can still remember the word "Brown" on Leon Brown's cap?

Well ... now that you've identified the toughest Met on the glass to ID, you might as well jump ahead to the subjective trivia question. Brown's the biggest clue.

7= *crosses fingers* Buzz Capra?

I imagine it's pretty rare, maybe not as rare as an orange juice
squeezer shaped like Napoleon and the juice comes out the ears
rare ... but rare. Cool find.

Loved those. One season they had one a week in the Sunday paper, I think. I tried to collect them all.
Maybe they did that a few times over the years, I dunno.
I remember the one of Willie Mays because he was making a basket catch with an actual basket, IIRC.

[Zvon]

I think I have to declare myself officially stumped on those last 3.

I'd like to see the expression on the Emperor of Japan's face when he finds out it's missing.
