Indeed it is. A third baseman wearing 41. Who would've thunk it?

Ben got the question. I meant most WS hits while wearing a Mets uniform.

Sorry I didn't realize your question was still going -- please disregard mine - and my guess is Bud Harrelson.

Which Met has the most World Series hits?

My rapidly failing memory tells me that 1973 was the only Series where the Mets showed much offense. Rusty?

[MFS62]

Nope.

BTW, I have to confess that I didn't know this until last week, but saw the answer in one of those "100 Things for Mets Fans" books that I scanned at Borders. It was otherwise unworthy for putchase.

Which Valentine-era Met is the following quote ascribed to:
"Once we get it going, someone's gonna be in trouble"

McDowell wasn't a Valentine era Met - just to clarify I meant Bobby V's tenure as manager.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Turk?

[HahnSolo]

Todd Pratt?

[Guest The Second Spitter]

No and No.

Since I'm going to bed now, i'll pm the answer to somebody, unless you guys are happy to wait 9 or so hours. Any volunteers?
