Ceetar Grand Central Contributor Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Last night three Mets made their major league debut (Tejada, Takahashi and Mejia) I figure it's probably been a while since three guys made their major league debut, for the Mets, and especially not on Opening Day (I'm also willing to bet it's the first time it's happened from three different countries). Nevermind the fact that Takahashi is almost as old as the other two combined. I just have no idea how to look it up. Baseball Almanac has a yearly list of NL debuts by year, but I'm not going to go to 49 pages to look that info up. Anyone want to point me in the right direction?

I hope we have more than a 33% "success" rate with this crop.
