ONE GERRY
1. Arrigo (Grimm)

1) He's younger than Tom Seaver. Born in April 1945 (Tom born in Nov. 1944)
2) He came along before Tom Seaver. (Debuted in April 1964, three years before Tom)
3) He was a teammate of Tom Seaver's in two consecutive seasons. (At Jax in 1966, NYM, briefly, in '67)
4) The last player he competed against directly was part of a significant first for Tom Seaver. (Last batter faced: Mike Cuellar; First pitcher Seaver faced in World Series: Mike Cuellar)
5) He played in a game with three of the other eight Jerrys. (Buchek, Koosman, Grote in September 67)
6) He was born with something in common with Butch Huskey and Kelly Stinnett. (Oklahomans all)
7) When he was signed out of high school, there was an air of Enchantment about him. (Went to school in New Mexico, Land of Enchantment)
8) He didn't sign with the Mets out of high school, but he wasn't much out of high school when he debuted with the Mets. (Signed by Bucs in '63, drafted by Metsies before '64 season when you could do that)
9) The Mets never won any game he participated in. (Mets 0-9 in 1964 Hinsley appearances, 0-2 in '67)

And still not in my kitchen.

Never letting a seemingly incongruous NBA Trivia Question from a Sunday go to waste.
