I like enlarging pictures beyond the optimal pixel rate/picture quality. It gives the picture a stained glass effect.

If that's a hint someone did mention him.

Whatever. Mets catchers, 1964.

UMDB


(There's a one game discrepancy between the two sources in connection with Gonder's 1964 games caught totals).

Mea Culpa. Hawk Taylor appeared in more games than Cannizaro that year, but not more games at catcher.

Besides, Hawk Taylor always was a favorite of mine. Still two more.

1. Sammy Taylor
2. Norm Sherry
3. Chris Cannizaro
4. John Stephenson
5. John Sullivan
6. J.C. Martin
7. Duffy Dyer
8. Jerry Grote
9. John Stearns
10. Ron Hodges
11. Alex Trevino
12.
13. Ronn Reynolds
14. Ed Hearn
15. Barry Lyons
16. Mackey Sasser
17.
18. Charlie O'Brien
19. Kelly Stinnett
20. Brent Mayne
21. Todd Pratt
22. Alberto Castillo
23. Vance Wilson
24. Mike Piazza
25. Ramon Castro
26. Brian Schneider
27. Josh Thole
28. Ronnie Paulino
29. Mike Nickeas
30. Anthony Recker

I guess Ron Hodges got into enough games circa 1983-4 to technically qualify as a number one, making the hat-eschewing Junior Ortiz the backup.

[Edgy MD]

17: Clint F. Hurdle.

[seawolf17]

Hurdle would have been earlier. Mike Fitzgerald is my guess for 12.

The missing 17 is 1990 or thereabouts.

[Edgy MD]

'Taint Fitzy. He went from playing a small handful of September games in '83 to being number-one in 1984 to going to Montreal in the Carter trade.

[RealityChuck]

#12 is indeed Junior Ortiz

1. Sammy Taylor
2. Norm Sherry
3. Chris Cannizaro
4. John Stephenson
5. John Sullivan
6. J.C. Martin
7. Duffy Dyer
8. Jerry Grote
9. John Stearns
10. Ron Hodges
11. Alex Trevino
12. Junior Ortiz
13. Ronn Reynolds
14. Ed Hearn
15. Barry Lyons
16. Mackey Sasser
17.
18. Charlie O'Brien
19. Kelly Stinnett
20. Brent Mayne
21. Todd Pratt
22. Alberto Castillo
23. Vance Wilson
24. Mike Piazza
25. Ramon Castro
26. Brian Schneider
27. Josh Thole
28. Ronnie Paulino
29. Mike Nickeas
30. Anthony Recker

I've checked #17 again and it still holds.

[Zvon]

Too lazy to review. Has anyone mentioned Hundley?

[Edgy MD]

Yup.

[seawolf17]

If he's between Sasser and O'Brien, he's gotta be 1990 or thereabouts. And when you think 1990...

[Edgy MD]

Ooohh. Nice one.

[Zvon]

Wow, thats the last one. Gj seawolf. I peeked at the UMDB and I still couldn't get it.

[RealityChuck]

We have a winner.

Hi. I'm Chris Cannizzaro. You may remember me from such films as
I Was a Second String Catcher for the 1964 New York Mets
and also My Last Name is Spelled with Two Z's.
