I have to admit, you had me fooled. I thought this was going to be a thread attempting to put Oliver Perez in historical context.

The biggest dick? I'm waiting for Fman's thoughts first.

[MFS62]

IIRC, when owner Joan Payson was told that the Mets had scored 19 runs in that game, she asked, "Did they win?"

Great stuff.... who knew that a Dick would be the first Met in team history to record five hits in a game , we need to stay tuned to see how many Dicks the Mets have had?

[Benjamin Grimm]

I assume it's 887.

I'm not sure this can be limited to just players.

Or should it be.

Nice start to the series, pregnant with background color, including the "fastest man" stuff and Dallas Green connection.

But I have to admit, part of me was expecting to see numbers more like "7 1/2" and "5 3/4."

(Isn't the answer to that question Raffy Santana, as per Pearlman?)

I would've thought with his big head, Mr Met would have the.....

oh wait.

I know Perez is screwing his team mates but
what I saw Grote do, he did to a child.

That don't sound right

Ugh. I really should read and use links and stuff.
Very interesting piece JCL.

And the site looks great.
Haven't been there for a bit.

Wasn't it some anonymous fan who called the Newspaper sports desk for the score and, when told that the Mets scored 19 runs, asked "Did they win?"

About 25 years ago I was told by a friend, that a friend of a friend of Wally Backman's told him that Wally said Dwight Gooden has the biggest dick in baseball and George Foster is the biggest dick in baseball.

Hope that answers your question.

I might use that quote as the series continues

[metirish]

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I dunno. I just hadn't written anything for mbtn in a long while, wanted to get word out there.

[metirish]

It's a masterpiece , it should be a fun series. Who's dick is up next?

I was going to post this exact same quote - I read it in The Worst Team Money Could Buy, IIRC

That's funny - I was told that in 1987. Was the quote attributed to Backman in the book?

[dgwphotography]

Yes, I remember it being attributed to Backman. Now I just have to find where I saw it....

I suppose you all just expect me to pop up, and spurt out some sort of comment. That's a ballsy assumption to make.

The whole thread is masturbatory, if you ask me.

COCK!
