[Willets Point]

I still think of Lenny Dykstra when I think of #4.

[G-Fafif]

You did say infielders, because my next thought runs to Ben Johnson, and he was, if anything, an outfielder who wore No. 4.

You guys are far more observant than I am. I wouldn't have gotten any of these.

[ashie62]

Argenis Reyes
Ben Johnson

[TransMonk]

Four is my favorite number. I keep tabs on whoever has it on the Mets.

I guess I'll be following Emaus closely if he makes the team.

Ben Johnson wasn't an infielder. Next person who answers Ben Johnson loses a point.

Can the Rock Quiz Administrator kindly administer the remainder of this quiz too?

Since G-Fafif and Ashie also answered the tie-breaking question, the new TB question (if required) is to name the only other person who wore #4 over that period (unless RQA can think of a better question).

[G-Fafif]

Lenny Dykstra and Ron Swoboda wore 4 to alumni events.

[G-Fafif]

John Valentin?

Correct!

[Guest Edgy DC]

John Valentin: Jay Bell, except with a pulse.

[G-Fafif]

Did Cookie Rojas coach in 4 his last year, 2002? Would have been the same year he and Rey-Rey protested by not showing up the night the Cuban team played the Orioles.

Feel free to manufacture your own "Ordonez not showing up?" observation.

[metirish]

Rey always showed up with a glove.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I have Rojas wearing 4 in 97-98 and 8 in 99-00. I don;t think he was a coach in 02 and anywhoo, Valentin wore 4 then.

[G-Fafif]

Oh yeah, Valentin...how soon he's forgettable.

I may have the year wrong on Rojas and Cuba (I just looked it up; it was 1999).

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

There was a coach in No. 4 in that post-Ventura period. Anyone remember who?
