  1. Ultimate Mets Database Facebook page wrote: We haven't posted anything in a while because we were waiting until we had something important to say! In last night's game in Miami, we noticed that both teams' starting shortstops (Omar Quintanilla and Adeiny Hechavarria) had eleven letters in their last name! Yesterday was the fifth Mets-Marlins game that both players started. There have been no other similar examples where both shortstops had eleven-letter names. We had a similar situation in left field last year that somehow completely escaped our notice. On June 5 and June 6, 2012, the Mets had Kirk Nieuwenhuis in left field, while the Nationals had Steve Lombardozzi, both proud members of the Eleven-Letter-Last-Name Club. But the lengthiest matchup in Mets history occurred on May 29, 1996 at Shea Stadium, when the starting pitchers were Jason Isringhausen (12 letters) for the Mets, and Bill Van Landingham (13 letters; 14 if you count the space after the Van!) for the Giants. See? We told you it was important!
  2. Willie McCovey? Harmon Killebrew?
  3. Best possible outcome: He never plays again, but the Yankees have to pay him anyway.
