Aptly Named Mets

[Centerfield]

Or ballplayers in general. I'm not picky.

Was thinking Josh Smoker does a good job living up to his name. Neil Walker has an ok OBP, but might bolt as a free agent this winter, thus fulfilling his legacy. Butch was pretty Huskey, and Preston, once the adoption was complete, became Will's son.

Junior Noboa never owned a snake.

And if only Esix Snead were a shortstop.....

[Edgy MD]

Gary Carter could carry a team.

José Cardenal once played for the Cardinals.

Pedro Feliciano mostly projected happiness.

Chin-lung Hu eventually got to first.

[Centerfield]

Rick was White. But Henry was not Blanco.

[Lefty Specialist]

Nice guy, that Bob Friend.

[HahnSolo]

Joel was Youngblood with the Mets. Later in his career, not so much.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Mac Scarce pitched in just one game for the Mets.

[Edgy MD]

Bobby Bonilla was a little bit good.

Jim Mann was, by all accounts, an adult male.

Blas Minor had an unremarkable minor league career.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Choking way up on the bat was one of a few weapons in Felix's bag of tricks.

A Darren O'Day keeps the doctor away.

Similarly, there was not one tiny fraction of Scott Holman that was not also adult and male.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Well, that's not what I heard.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Cleon was kinda known to have a Jones or two.

[Lefty Specialist]

That's a violation of the Verne Ruhle!

[Edgy MD]

Rusty Staub was appropriately rusty on top. And I would bet that, if he returned to the game today, his skills would be rusty.

And speaking of hair, Sandy Alomar's had, indeed, grown sandy by the time of his return to the dugout as coach.

In only 58 games as a Met, Brent Gaff made five errors.

[RealityChuck]

Bill Monbouquette gave small bunches of flowers as gifts.

Ralph Terry loved big, soft towels.

Jack Fisher was an angler in the offseason.

[dinosaur jesus]

Darling Ronnie

Jay Hook was a student of the curveball.

Robert Person was a person.

[Fman99]

I love this place.

Al Leiter was, truthfully, lighter as a Yankee than he was in Flushing.

David has often been right.

Yogi Berra was full of transcendental wisdom.

Tug McGraw probably tugged at the bill of his cap.

Anthony Young was not old.

[Fman99]

Pat Strange was pretty odd.

[Edgy MD]

Emil Brown certainly was brown-hued.

Ryan Church was decidedly churchy.

Eric Hillman was a man who made his living on a hill.

[Lefty Specialist]

Rick Waits for the Aaron Harang, only to have Robinson Cancel.

[RealityChuck]

Ron Locke never found the key to a successful career.

Danny Napoleon hoped to conquer baseball, but failed.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Dave Hillman was a man who made his living on a hill.

[Frayed Knot]

Josh got Smoked tonight in the 7th inning although Fernando then provided the team with some degree of Solace.

[MFS62]

Blas Minor played a minor role on the team.
