Mets Postseason Trivia Quiz (Final game as a Met)

[Benjamin Grimm]

There are 29 players whose last game as a Met was a postseason game. No need to take turns; make as many guesses as you like. When we get to a point where we start to need clues I'll start to break it down by year.

Some of the names are very prominent. Others, not so much.

Cliff Floyd. A personal favorite of mine during his time with the Mets, Floyd's injury during the playoffs really hurt the team in the NLCS against the Cardinals.

[stevejrogers]

Jim McAndrew

I'm guessing the other '69ner is either Koonce, or Martin.

Aww crap, 2006 guy, Michael Tucker I think? Guy's lone met card is a Topps 2007 Postseason highlight card.

Cliff Floyd: Yes.
Michael Tucker: Yes! (I thought he'd be the last to be guessed. I have almost no memory at all of Michael Tucker.)
