metirish Old-Timey Member Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 The Daily News has a trivia question in a feature called "Extra Innings" , perhaps Martino brought that with him, Martino btw blogs each game.Test Your Mets IQOther than Tom Seaver, what other Mets have worn # 41?Don't go running to http://mbtn.net/ for the answer.
Guest Edgy DC Guests Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Just because they went running there for the question.
metirish Old-Timey Member Posted April 9, 2010 Author Posted April 9, 2010 This is so easy that you all can't be bothered?
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Okay, I'll venture a guess. Was Jack Fisher one of them?
metirish Old-Timey Member Posted April 9, 2010 Author Posted April 9, 2010 Jack Fisher - Nyet Four players before Seaver wore that number.

batmagadanleadoff Old-Timey Member Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Gordon Richardson was the last Met to wear #41, immediately prior to Seaver. I'm sure of this much. I don't know the other 41's, though.

Guest metsguyinmichigan Guests Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Clem Labine. I wore my 1969 Seaver jersey to a card show, and he said "Hey, you're wearing my jersey!" He was a nice guy.

metirish Old-Timey Member Posted April 9, 2010 Author Posted April 9, 2010 The last player I am looking for finished his Mets career 2-0 having pitched 40 innings as an 18 year old , never again appeared in the Majors .The memories of this player at UMDB features an interesting "memory" regarding this player and weather he was the only "bonus baby" ever signed by the Mets.
Willets Point Old-Timey Member Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Lots of fat dudes sitting in the stands at Shea drinking beer have worn the number 41.
Met Hunter Old-Timey Member Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 I once met Ed Bauta, and asked him to sign with his Met number, and he signed #41. "Like Seaver" But I've never been able to confirm otherwise.
