Pinch Homers

[Edgy MD]

In honor of Jordany Valedespin, I've been curious about the Mets and pinch-hit homers? I bet you have too! That's why you won't have any problem answering these questions.

Mark Carreon's gotta be somewhere on one of those lists.

Gimme some Rusty.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

The namesake, Steady Eddie Kranepool, of course!

Scott Hairston had a sweet run there for a while.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Something compels me to guess John Milner.

[G-Fafif]

Jordany Valdespin had 5 PH HRs in 2012, I seem to recall.

I believe Danny Heep and Chris Jones should be in the upper echelons for a season, certainly.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Matt Franco

[Fman99]

How about 2013 pinch hitting sensation Andrew Brown?

Milner was the first name I thought of when I read this quiz. Then I remembered that Milner led the Mets in career grand slams for many years and assumed that I simply conflated grand slams with pinch homers. Not saying that Milner ain't on the list, though .... He might be.

[Guest Trachsel My Tears]

First pinch hr i'm guessing Marv Throneberry.

Yea, for the last one hit, iirc.

Throne pinch-hit-homered in the Mets inaugural season, but not first.

Nor was Brown, though he did indeed pinch homer in 2013, last.

There's a heap of reasons you should, especially if you paid attention in 1983.
