I would guess Brook Fordyce for #0 but I thought he played for the Orioles. Is that list of teams exhaustive?

David Wright wasn't the only Great Gazoo Met.

43 is Mike Remlinger, no?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

0 = Terry McDaniel

Mason is wrong. And I remember McDaniel as a 0 too, but in this case it's Fordyce. (And yes, O's are on the list there.)

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

11 = Chico Walker?

I was as sure on Roger Mason as anything I've ever been sure of. dagnabbit.

He's whiter than Chico Walker too.

11 - Ced Landrum? Edit: nope, not a white guy.

PS. I guess I see "O's" and think "A's." Whoops.

64 - I'll guess Jeff Manto, though I have no recollection of him being in Spring Training with the Mets.

[seawolf17]

Nicely done on Manto. He was a legend when I was living in Rochester. Still missing two pitchers (both generic lefthanded long reliever/sport starter types), one catcher, and a utility guy who I probably should have left off the quiz because he's too easy.

#11 (NRI) DOUG DASCENZO: Best known as a Cub pinch-hitter/defensive sub from 1988-1992. Spent 1994 in Norfolk. Pitched one inning in 19-8 loss to Mets on June 12, 1990.
#1 (NRI) PAT HOWELL: Got 79 PA with the Mets in 1992, but never made it to the majors again. Victim of the baseball adage that "you can't steal first base." Stole 79 bases with Columbia in 1990, 64 with two teams in 1991.
