I can't honestly tell who you mean there, but if it's Johan Santana or John Stearns, nope.

Ah, gotcha.

Nope. Youngblood, trickily enough, was traded in his famous two-city jaunt after the 1982 All-Star Game, or more than a year after his 1981 All-Star Game appearance.

OE: Not "more than a year after," technically, given the vagaries of the 1981 split-season, but he lasted on the Mets one more All-Star break.

Last two guys were Met All-Stars in July, ex-Mets before August.

That's life. That's what people say.

The other remaining Met All-Star never has to go on a game show to ensure annual winnings of a million bucks or better.

Ladies and gentlemen, your disposable New York Mets All-Stars. As Freddie Hutchinson said to Richie Ashburn -- and as Bruce Bochy said to Matt Harvey -- thanks for playing.
