David Cone, 1988? No question about Cone, whose 37 points placed him 10th. (Don't You Forget About) Cleon Jones, 1969. 7th place, 82 points for the .340 hitter. 1. Ron Hunt 2. Tommy Davis 3. Cleon Jones 4. Donn Clendenon 5. 6. Jesse Orosco 7. Bobby Ojeda 8. Lenny Dykstra 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. David Cone 14. 15. 16. 17. Lance Johnson 18. Todd Hundley 19. Bernard Gilkey 20. John Olerud 21. 22. 23. 24. R.A. Dickey Repeatedly valuable: Carlos Delgado (2), Dave Kingman (2) Not valuable: Al Leiter, Frank Viola

Jesse Orosco(n Pollo), 1983. Yesse to Jesse, who broke a long, valueless dry spell among Mets, receiving the first points awarded any Met who finished a season as a Met since 1976: 14 for 17th place. 1. Ron Hunt 2. Tommy Davis 3. 4. Donn Clendenon 5. 6. Jesse Orosco 7. Bobby Ojeda 8. Lenny Dykstra 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Lance Johnson 18. Todd Hundley 19. Bernard Gilkey 20.

Readily Available Dickey? It was Rather Appropriate that Dickey received 16 points in 2012, tying him with Joey Votto for 14th place. 1. Ron Hunt 2. Tommy Davis 3. 4. Donn Clendenon 5. 6. 7. Bobby Ojeda 8. Lenny Dykstra 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Lance Johnson 18. Todd Hundley 19. Bernard Gilkey 20. John Olerud 21. 22. 23. 24. R.A.

Todd Hundley Thus completes the 1996 Most Valuable Trilogy. Todd tied Lance for 18th with 7 points. 1. Ron Hunt 2. Tommy Davis 3. 4. Donn Clendenon 5. 6. 7. Bobby Ojeda 8. Lenny Dykstra 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Lance Johnson 18. Todd Hundley 19. Bernard Gilkey 20. John Olerud 21. 22. 23. 24.

Dave Kingdom The Kingdom of Dave was twice valuable. Len Dykstra, 1986. Nailsed it! 4 points, 19th-place tie with Fernando Valenzuela. 1. Ron Hunt 2. Tommy Davis 3. 4. Donn Clendenon 5. 6. 7. Bobby Ojeda 8. Lenny Dykstra 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Lance Johnson 18. 19. Bernard Gilkey 20. John Olerud 21. 22. 23. 24.

Frank Viola. Good but ineffective guess. Ron Hunt, 1964. The first and only. One point earned Ron a 25th-place tie with Barney Schultz. 1. Ron Hunt 2. Tommy Davis 3. 4. Donn Clendenon 5. 6. 7. Bobby Ojeda 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Lance Johnson 18. 19. Bernard Gilkey 20. John Olerud 21. 22. 23. 24. Repeatedly valuable: Carlos Delgado (2) Not valuable: Al Leiter, Frank viola

Bernard Gilkey? Gilkey as charged. 13th place, 14 points in 1996. Bobby Ojeda O yes. 2 points for a 21st-place tie in 1986. John Olerud, or his tree. John could see for miles and miles in 1998 when he placed 12th with 38 points. 1. 2. Tommy Davis 3. 4. Donn Clendenon 5. 6. 7. Bobby Ojeda 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Lance Johnson 18. 19. Bernard Gilkey 20. John Olerud 21. 22. 23. 24. Overly valuable: Carlos Delgado (2) Not valuable: Al Leiter

As you no doubt know, no Met has ever won the National League MVP award. But 42 different Mets have been named on National League MVP ballots over the years (though 2013 wasn't one of those years). Of those 42, 18 made multiple appearances in their Mets careers, while 24 showed up in the voting exactly once. Please identify, one guess at a time, the 24 Mets who received MVP votes in only one Met season. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24.

NYM 0 NL MVP. That is to say that in 2013, for the 19th time in the 52-year history of the New York Mets, not a single MVP vote was thrown a Met's way. The other years when BBWAA voters avoided voting the Metropolitan ticket: 1962, 1963, 1965, 1966, 1977*, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1992, 1993, 1995, 2002, 2003, 2004 & 2009. *Tom Seaver received a 10th-place vote in 1977, more likely for his Reds than his Mets accomplishments, but he was a Met for part of 1977, so take that with a grain of hometown salt. (Carlos Beltran's MVP support in 2011 could be taken the same way.) McCutchen won in the NL, Cabrera in the AL.

metsguyinmichigan wrote: Giant cats! In Mets jerseys. Shea was famous for all its stray cats -- especially the black on that ran in front of the Cubs dugout in 1969. People in cat costumes named Casey, Felix, Terrific and Mookie. Terrific would be a Tom cat. Wilpon would probably veto "Giant cats," insisting on the Dodger breed. Homer the Beagle, Leo the Black Cat, Mettle the Mule and, if only they had resigned his namesake, Marlon the Byrd.

Keith's Grill has hung in there since 2011. It sometimes generates a line. The Rusty's kiosk at Shea didn't make it out of the '90s, but it sure as hell seemed a natural for revival come Citi Field. Then again, as a FAFIF reader suggested, so would've a Mex's Taqueria.

DynaMets was the SportsChannel-era precursor to Kids Clubhouse. The name stuck on the Dash long past the show's cancellation. Think it's been Mr. Met Dash throughout the SNY era but I couldn't swear what year it switched. The run-around-the-bases thing wasn't a Met original -- Howie, when he was still Mets Extra'ing, pointed out what a great promo it was where he'd seen it in operation and strongly suggested the Mets adopt it. They took him up on it in 1994, the year they were breaking their necks to appear "fan-friendly," post-fireworks.

Nothing wrong with a good idea fitted appropriately to its environs. The bridge inside the ballpark works and nods, implicitly if not overwhelmingly, to the team logo and the idea behind it. Because somebody else celebrated a home run or encouraged a singalong doesn't make the Mets intellectual-property thieves for doing something in that vein. It's the straight-out "let's do 'Sweet Caroline' because it's awesome at Fenway" kind of thinking that's depressing. I'd place the camo uniforms, given their connection to San Diego, in that category. Wear khaki. Wear navy blues. Do something that isn't exactly what the Padres have been doing for years.

Whole thing's weird, says guy who doesn't like the Braves but generally assumes they know what they're doing.

Nick Swisher. Just in general.

I was worried for a few minutes that the Mets didn't love America. Glad they cleared that up.
