This former Met belongs to the same exclusive club as Mr. Hookworm Intro, up above: membership in the club is predicated on something that they didn't do. You won't find any Topps baseball cards of this Met in his Met uniform. But just the same, The Man From Topps kept a fingerprint file on the guy, and pictures, too. In this shot, our ex Met poses at the Sadecki Spot, throwing an invisible baseball. Either that or he's concealing five or six baseballs inside of his massive right hand. He could probably hide three or four more baseballs in that paw of his if he weren't also holding a cantaloupe, Yogi Berra's comic book collection and Jane Jarvis's organ. Big Jim Bibby. -
Robin Ventura makes sure the Second City is well-represented in the Non-Championship Parade, leading his White Sox completely out of championship contention hours after the Cubs departed on September 8.

When Metsies return home Monday night, it will be with Mike Baxter, Aaron Harang and Juan Centeno. Ruben Tejada apparently kept dangling so the team that has avoided using him for months can hold on to him for an extra year.

23 Mets made team debut in 2012. 3 of those Mets have played for team in Sept 2013: Quintanilla, Lutz, now Francisco. Sic Metsie Gloria.

Wears R.A.'s former number. Emphasis on former.

Matsuzaka 2.5 Young 1.5 Turner 1.0 Black 1.0 Hawkins 1.0 den Dekker 1.0 Murphy 1.0 Francisco 0.5 Recker 0.5

Your colorization makes everything just a touch otherworldly. Feels very signature.

Erstwhile World Champion J.C. Martin joins another parade, the one that leads as far away from ticker-tape as possible. His Chicago Cubs become the third team eliminated from championship consideration in 2013, falling definitively away on September 8.

That's got Tribal teeth-gnashing all over it. "We lost to the METS???" Yup. Afraid ya did.
-
Giambi w/flair single to open 9th. Must have been his 5,000th career AB vs Hawkins.
-
All about the EY: doubles in the Dekk. 2-1 Mets.
-
MdD leads off singling, messing w/Wild Card race's head. Now on 2nd after Sweet Cheeks bunts him over.
-
Rivera gave up tying HR T-9. BOS allows winning run on wild pitch.
-
Perfectly Frank w/ the DP ball. 1-1 after 8.
-
What coulda been great ended up sucking.
-
Looking for Francisco? He's on the mound in the bottom of the eighth of a tie game with two on and one out.
-
Not well played. Tied, bottom of 8th.

2nd & 3rd, nobody out in 8th, Mets annoying AL race.

Neither 69 nor 86 early WS cover reflects what lied/lay/lain ahead.
-
MdD works a little glove magic, Black 1-2-3 7th. 1-1.

San Diego was the end of the baseball line for this former Met and Sports Illustrated cover boy who, you might agree, looks stupid cool in the Padres' original uniform. What's his name? Photography credits: The Man From Topps. Rod Gasper That it was Gaspar doesn't surprise me. What's shocking is I've never seen that SI cover. Get outta here. I Rod Gaspar you not.

The Mets' hitting's stopped going to the bottom of the 7th.
