Nope. I'm not even running this quiz.

Collins also told me he was still in touch with Brown and seemed simpatico because I definitely asked about his having roomed with him.

Could that be Billy D?

Steve Renko looks like he has some kissy lips.

..and one fan. Himself.

I'd love a good quality pic of Renko as a Met.

It was Denehy all along.

I found this but it's got the mark. Still, great photo. He had the whole wacky lips, big ears, unibrow, eyes too far apart thing goin' for him.
As a kid he stood out for some reason. Probably something he did to the Mets. I knew him as an Expo and I'm pretty sure I didn't know he was ever a Met back then in the early 70's. Shut us out? Steal some Cy Young votes? I don't recall.

Well, he wasn't a Met, so much as a Metly farmhand.

Pretty cool that he has his initials and (former) number inked onto his glove like a 13-year-old.
