As soon as you hinted "first baseman that walked like nobody's business", I knew I had my man.

OK, here's my JP trivia question.
Someone on those teams with J.P. played high school ball with a famous Mets first baseman.
Who was it? Who was the first baseman?

Due to the underwhelming response, I'll keep the questions out there and post the answers on Sunday.

It was his manager Danny Monzon, who played on the Monroe High School team with Ed Kranepool.
The person who was to later become my wife attended Monroe then, too. And, as I may have mentioned beore, I briefly played with Monzon on a sandlot (outside of school) team sponsored by El Toro Bravo (a beer company).
After Monzon's major career, he became a manager. I followed his teams when he managed in the Mets organization. That's why I knew many of the players in the original question in this thread. If Edgy had asked about some other Mets minor league teams/ years, I might have known zilch.
