seawolf17 Old-Timey Member Posted March 10, 2017 Author Posted March 10, 2017 Greg comes strong on a Thursday! Still one point on the board.1. 1964-65: 2-12 on the mound, 1-25 at the plate. Was the "other guy" on a notable Mets rookie card. TOM PARSONS2. 1970-71: 5-25, then part of a big trade. Was the "other guy" on a notable Mets rookie card. LEROY STANTON3. 1973: 3-23 in between stints in Houston. Acquired when the Mets traded away a key piece of their 1969 team. RICH CHILES4. 1980: 3-25 for this catcher and former 1st round pick who only got 99 AB in part of four seasons between 1978-1985. BUTCH BENTON5. 1997-98: Only 3-25 with a home run despite being Joe McEwing before Joe McEwing was Joe McEwing. SHAWN GILBERT6. 1999: 3-25 at the plate. Walked a guy once. THAT FUCKIN' GUY7. 2005: 5-25 at the plate in 19 games, and then at the end of the season said "fuck this shit, I'm going home." KAZ ISHII8. 2005: Drafted by the Mets in 1990, but didn't make it up to Shea until 1995, where he went 3-25 with a home run, mostly as a pinch-hitter.9. 2010: 4-25 ending his career with his hometown club.

Three of them played their entire 24-AB MLB career as Mets. Four of them were involved in huge trades.1. 1964: 4-24 at the plate, 3-5, 3.61 in 61 games on the mound. Somehow made into three Topps cards. Holds what appears to be an interesting baseball record. (I can't find confirmation.)2. 1974-75: 4-24 as a Met, almost entirely as a pinch-hitter. Singled in the bottom of the 25th.3. 1977-80: 2-24 as a Met. Best known for something pictured on his baseball card.4. 1980: 5-24 as a backup infielder, then spent the rest of his career in San Diego.5. 1982-83: 4-24, then got traded.6. 1986: 5-24, then got traded.7. 1995-96: 5-24, then got traded.8. 1999: 3-24, then got traded.

G-Fafif Old-Timey Member Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 The 2005 guy from Thursday -- it says he made it to Shea in 1995, which would mean he's not from 2005...unless there's something extra interesting about him (like he played soccer there a decade before debuting as a Met).

stevejrogers Old-Timey Member Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 1) The guy traded for some long time outfielder, Charlie Williams?
stevejrogers Old-Timey Member Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 2) For some reason Jason Jacome is coming to mind, but I thought he had a slightly better W-L than that.

Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 I'm starting to doubt that I'm going to get any more correct answers! Matt Watson? That name isn't at all familiar to me!
