Memories of Anderson Hernandez

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Not to be confused with the last time we did this.

I continue to only remember him for how long it took him to get his first major league hit.

My original comment stands.

Homered in Florida during that Pat Misch shutout down the stretch last year.

Wore 3 different numbers (1, 4 and 11). Made that awesome catch. Played, I think, pretty well after coming over last year, considering how stinky he'd been.

Highlight of his second tenure: hit the 6,000th home run in Mets history in the day half of September 13's D-N doubleheader against the Phillies.

Also, to make a point of how much the Mets sucked, Jeff Pearlman told our September Two Boots gathering that we deserved credit for rooting for a team that brought back "Angel Hernandez".

Back in his first go-round, constituted, upon his promotion, one-quarter of the first all-'80s born Mets infield, 9/18/05: Jacobs, Hernandez, Reyes, Wright. Doesn't sound impressive now, struck me as a changing of the guard then.

Didn't know that. Interesting how 4 1/2 years later they were all in ST with the Mets again.

Yep.
The catch.

How much he sucked in his first go-around.
