Dallas Green, 1934-2017

[G-Fafif]

Met pitcher, Met manager. Will be remembered most fondly in the Delaware Valley.

I hope you find your granddaughter, Dallas. Requiescat in pace.

He had an amazing career, but sadly the first thing I think of is how his granddaughter was murdered by that maniac who shot Gabby Giffords.

[Edgy MD]

One of the first times I realized that Gary Cohen was more than just a strong-voiced play-by-play man is was his commentary after Green's dismissal: "He was fired for the same reason he was hired."

Essentially, the Mets brought him in to be a hard ass and let him go for being a hard ass.

I believe he's the only Blue Hen ever to be a Met.

[Guest 41Forever]

Did not get on many Topps cards as a Mets manager. Shares this one with Davey.

Oversaw some lean years in Flushing, unfortunately.

How about Tom Herr and Kevin Mench?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Tom Here counts but Mensch was never a Met.
