MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Due to the underwhelming response, I'll keep the questions out there and post the answers on Sunday.Later

Who was the first baseman?LaterIt 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.Later
