    My mistake initially -- 17 players in all. OE: No, 16, actually.

    The Mets' greatness is predicated on never standing still. They are such a machine in motion that on [crossout:2wkyhoqs]17[/crossout:2wkyhoqs] 16 occasions players who've been named to a given season's All-Star team were gone from the Mets before the next season's All-Star Game rolled around. See if you can name them one at a time. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

    There ya have 'em. They kept their feet on the ground and they kept reaching for the stars...but never quite grapsed one while a Met. Agee in 1970 and Rusty in 1975 seemed like worthy candidates. Mookie was simply solid for a decade.
  12. G-Fafif
    Not every Met can be an All-Star. In fact three players in the New York Mets Hall of Fame -- as players -- were never named All-Stars as Mets. And they are? One guess per entry, please. 1. Rusty Staub, inducted 1986 2. Mookie Wilson, inducted 1996 3. Tommie Agee, inducted 2002 STAR WHO WAS INDUCTED: Jerry Grote (1992)
  13. G-Fafif
    Beltran, I thought, rode the wave of publicity to that first ASG selection, elected to start in 2005 despite getting off an a blah foot as a Met. Between his big postseason in 2004 and his enormous free agent contract, fans couldn't help but punch his ticket. I remember being surprised Lance made it over Bernard in 1996.

    BTW, good job on Viola, who became a Met in 1989 but after that year's ASG. His first Met-eligible midsummer classic was 1990. Also BTW, Mays and Piazza wasted no time becoming Met All-Stars, joining the club in May, making it to the big show in July, respectively, in 1972 and 1998.

    Remaining All-Star was a multi-time All-Star as a Met.
