Wow, I guess he has. For Player of the Year, in addition to Floyd and Wright, only Reyes, Beltran, and Piazza still have a mathematical chance.

This thread started with homers. I can easily do all of Edgy's suggestions except games by position. That one does sound interesting, so maybe I'll take a look at that and see if it's feasible.

We can do another one tomorrow. Any category suggestions?

Lundy comes off the bench with a walk-off game-ending guess: 1. Steve Carlton 36 2. Rick Reuschel 25 3. Jerry Reuss 21 4. Greg Maddux 16 4. Nelson Briles 16 6. Ferguson Jenkins 15 6.

Another clue about the non-Smith guy: If you're writing a book about the 1986 Mets, his name has to be in it.

Lee is one of the Smith Brothers, but Zane isn't the other. 1. Steve Carlton 36 2. Rick Reuschel 25 3. Jerry Reuss 21 4. Greg Maddux 16 4. Nelson Briles 16 6. Ferguson Jenkins 15 6. ___________ 15 8.

Here's the clue for the remaining guy whose name isn't Smith: He started and ended his career with the same NL team, but spent the bulk of the middle of his career with another NL team.

Nope, not Rick Wise. The remaining three all did the bulk of their pitching against the Mets in the 1980's. Another hint: They're not all starting pitchers.

He pitched for only one team in a career that spanned three decades. http://marian.creighton.edu/~besser/baseball/people/gibson.jpg He's dead at the present time. (He died earlier this year.) 1.

Not Mark Davis.

Not Williams. Not Wilson. Not Sutcliffe.

Nope, not Randy.

No. In fact, none of the remaining names are active. The last time one of these guys pitched against the Mets was in 1997.

No Welsh. No Hands. (Look ma!) No Browning. Yes, though, to Hooton! 62 gets on the scoreboard. 1. Steve Carlton 36 2. Rick Reuschel 25 3. Jerry Reuss 21 4.
