Jackie Robinson Trivia Question (No Snide Rotunda Comments)

[batmagadanleadoff]

When MLB retired Jackie Robinson's uniform #42 on April 15, 1997, 12 players who were then currently wearing #42 were grandfathered in as exceptions to the uni # retirement. Of those 12, [crossout]three[/crossout] four either played for, or would play for the Mets. Who are those [crossout]three[/crossout] four?

One guess per post.

armando reynoso

The third one is escaping me, but I think he had his grandfather rights taken from him --- like he switched teams and the new team (Houston, I'm thinking?) wouldn't assign him the old number, and he didn't have the juice to fight for it.

Oh, that would be Jose Lima

Well, I screwed up this quiz because I, once again, (I've done this before) forgot that Jose Lima was a Met. So there's one more, a total of four.

[metsmarathon]

well, the royals surely couldn't give away tom goodwin's old number to just anybody.

I'll post the remaining player in about 10 or 15 minutes. OK?

Dennis Cook was the last Marlin to wear #42.
