Kelvin Chapman, Mets Opening Day Second Baseman as a 22-year-old, 1979; washed out, fought his way back from the minors to become Wally Backman's platoon partner in 1984 (successfully) and 1985 (less so). Wore No. 10 his first time with the Mets, which is the number on the jersey themetfairy describes, thus Howie Rose taking notice.

So there's your significance.
