Orosco.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Orosco (last game 9/27/03) was the last member of the '86 Mets to retire from baseball. Jesse outlasted the next to last remaining '86 Met by two full seasons.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Elster.

Two Mets remain: one from column A and one from column B.

[Fman99]

Dave Magadan as 21st Century Met?

I thought Straw played until 2000 or thereabouts.

One Met to go. Here's a hint. This Met was mentioned on this forum in at least one other thread, very recently.

[HahnSolo]

Gibbons?

Thanks for playing. Promotional prizes were furnished by Dicker and Dicker of Beverly Hills.

[Gwreck]

For the record, neither Gooden, Elster nor Aguilera played MLB the 21st century. But good quiz nonetheless.

[MFS62]

Wasn't there a thread that led to a question about opponents of the 1986 team who still played into the 21st Century?
Was it spun off or renamed?
I posted an answer and am trying to find out if I was correct.
