New Uni Numbers

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

You can't have a first baseman wear No. 6. It's too Mike Marshally.

It's also Stan Musially. We could use one of those.

Frank Catalanotto (spelled correctly!) would be the first player to wear No. 2 since this guy. Since I basically took 1995 off from baseball, researching all this was sorta new to me.

That's kinda surprising. I guess Bobby Valentine had the number tied up for a while, but he's been gone for seven years now.

Jeez, the 90s are a complete haze to me. Terrell Lowry? Vaguely, vaguely remember the name and the Mets were my favorite thing in the whole fuckin world, too. Cool stuff, JCL.

Garvey was a more than serviceable #6 1B. Does Ike have hairy Popeye forearms?

Popeye doesn't have hairy forearms. That would be the Goons:

Vlad, the prosecution rests.

Frank Catalanotto says FU to No. 2, suiting up in 27 instead.

Nelson Figueroa kills self.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Maybe they're saving that number for Bobby Valentine's return.

I'm afraid, though, that the Mets have decided to retire number 2 in Derek Jeter's honor.

Tejada was in 11.
I forget what Meija had but it wasn't the ST number.

32

[Benjamin Grimm]

That's because he has the same initials as Jon Matlack.

Some guy just pointed out the Mets have now had 4 Mannys in team history and three of them (Hernandez, Aybar, Acosta) have worn No. 36. The other, Manny Alexander, wore 6.

That's nuts, man.

[Guest Edgy DC]

They're mostly Manny A's also. What did Manny Acta wear?
