In the Name of Bobby Ojeda

[G-Fafif]

A chance to win the 1986 World Series Game Six DVD on Faith and Fear if you can nail this quiz, loosely inspired by the trade that brought Bobby Ojeda to New York from Boston.

7 easy ones, 1 kinda hard one, one impossible one. Maybe I win a DVD!

[Edgy MD]

I got six. So one isn't easy enough!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

My "impossible" answer was actually wrong.

[G-Fafif]

Nice crossover wins for Seawolf and HahnSolo. Congrats!

Edgy got all the Mets who became Sox All Stars.

Among the Sox All-Stars who became Mets, I got the three 21st Century guys. The older three had me licked.

I actually thought of the guy who was an All Star in the nineties, but I conflated him with Manny Alexander.

I thought for sure John Valentin was an all-star for the Sox. Somehow Gary Disarcina beat him out in 1995 as Ripken's reserve.

Another 1986 quiz and another great prize here.

Readers are getting good, I'm going soft on hard quizzes. We have our winners. Play for fun if not profit.

The answers.

Roger McDowell, Bobby Ojeda, Doug Sisk, Wally Backman, Kevin Elster, Danny Heep, Rafael Santana, Tim Teufel, Mookie Wilson.

Teufel's best year was as the dark half of a platoon (though he got a lot of extra-platoonical duty as that season progressed). Of the rest, I'd say that Sisk, Ojeda, Backman, Elster, and Wilson all had at least one AS-quality season.
