Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 While wasting time on sporcle, I noticed that the Los Angeles Dodgers Opening Day Lineup in 1991 had a very Met-ly look:CF Brett Butler2B Juan SamuelRF Darryl Strawberry1B Eddie MurrayLF Kal Daniels3B Lenny HarrisC Mike SciosciaSS Alfredo GriffinP Tim BelcherThat's five of nine. My challenge to you (and I don't know if there is an answer to this) scour all box scores you can get your hands on and get me an opponents' starting lineup that has five or more one-time Mets.

Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 This game had seven Mets players in the opposing starting lineup. (And nine in the Mets lineup.)That's the only Mets game that had as many as seven.
