Here we go!



1. 1962-65: appeared in 47 games, all with the Mets, in his MLB career. Went 1-22 at the plate.
2. 1962: Was the 32nd pick in the expansion draft; went 3-22 and got traded in April.
3. 1962-63: The second best Mets pitcher to come out of Yale. Went 1-22 at the plate.
4. 1967: 0-for-22. (See #10.)
5. 1975-77: Born in Fresno, but was no Seaver, either on the mound or at the plate, despite 6 hits in 22 AB. No relation to #6.
6. 1975-76: 6-22 as a backup outfielder. No relation to #5.
7. 1978: 5-22 after coming over as a PTBNL in a huge trade; traded away in May.
8. 1979: 0-22 with 17 strikeouts, 4-5, 3.70 on the mound. Mostly remembered as an Angel.

10. 2007: 3-for-22. (See #4.)
11. 2013: 3-22, and probably BETTER at the plate than he was on the mound. What a disaster.

From today:



1. 1964-66: Drafted from the Phillies, he pitched his way back and forth from AAA for three years, and went 5-for-21 at the plate. His brother had a much more successful career.
2. 1993-95: Raced through the minor leagues until his 1993 debut; 3-for-21 in 37 games, then spent parts of three seasons in Oakland. Currently an assistant principal in Minisink Valley.
3. 2002-03: 2-for-21 and is best known for giving up a big home run as a member of another organization.
4. 2009-11: 1-for-21 at the plate after coming over midway through 2009. Has bounced around the minors as a starter in AAA, but hasn't made it back yet.

I thought that Mike Bacsik was best known for being nice to a young MK!

The first reliever in Mets history (an excellent hint) was also the first player to make his MLB debut as a Met...which I wrote about here.

So click for the answer and a point.

[G-Fafif]

Well, shoot, if nobody wants it, the 1962-65 first reliever guy is Bob Moorhead.

[seawolf17]

Indeed he is!
