Oddly I do know of one other Met one that is about as active as this one. Also a refugee of the old MoFo of yore. I would like to know more please MetsRefugees

Yeah, but no one is clamoring that Lee’s boyhood home be kept as a shrine and tourist attraction museum!

FYI the only posthumous induction since the 2010 relaunch was Al Jackson getting the achievement award in 2021 (passed away in 2019) Others Casey Stengel 1981, died 1975 Joan Payson 1981, died 1975 Gil Hodges 1982, died 1972 George Weiss 1982, died 1972 Johnny Murphy 1983, died 1970 Tommie Agee 2002, died 2001

Dude, someone is just tired of your ****. How is this different than blocking trolls on X, Truth Social, BlueSky, etc?

Take it to the Red Light Forum then. Edgardo Alfonzo How is blocking someone you’d rather not see on your internet device screen, anywhere (here, other social media platforms, etc) a form of discrimination and bigotry?

RKO…I mean M for Randall Kirk (same first and middle intials as a legendary pro-wrestler Randal Keith “Randy” Orton) Myers

Obscure…the now late Octavio Dotel?

OE: RMPL I’ll post later

Both are probably still high up, despite their crash and burn endings…I’ll go with Doc first though as my guess

Feels like there has been a groundswell of late, seems like he’s on the Dick Allen track, getting his number retired, and sadly it would be a posthumous induction.

Valenzuela seems like a lock. I can see Delgado, Mattingly or Murphy barely getting enough votes to get in.

Well, he still holds the distinction of being the only Dodger pitcher period to close out a championship season on his home mound back in ‘63! 1955 MFY Stadium 1959 Comiskey 1965 Metropolitan Stadium 1981 MFY Stadium II 1988 Oakland Coliseum 2020 Wearing home whites, but at Globe Life Stadium in Arlington 2024 MFY Stadium III 2025 IDGAF that it bears my own name, I’m Still Calling it Skydome

Fun fact, real name is Sanfrid http:// https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=johnso001san

Jennie Finch…only name I can come up with off hand…TO WIKI… Finch is ranked in several categories for both the Wildcats in the Pac-12 Conference and the NCAA Division I, where she was named #2 Greatest College Softball Player.[5] She is the National Pro Fastpitch career leader in WHIP and is a National Softball Hall of Fame inductee. She has been ranked by Tucson, Arizona sportswriters as the #1 Best Arizona Wildcats Softball Player; picked the #5 Best NCAA Pitcher All-Time and was chosen by the Pac-12 for the All-Century Team as a pitcher.[6][7][8] Time magazine described her as the most famous softball player in history.[3] In 2010, Finch retired from softball to focus on her family. In August 2011, she started working at ESPN as a color commentator for National Pro Fastpitch and college softball games.[9] The Tom Seaver of NFL QBs?

Gene Autry. Crossover act as well with his legendary music career, and the big screen persona that created a “code” as well. Tom Seaver of the 1970s Reds, not counting Seaver himself, of course

Alex Trebek The Tom Seaver of Saturday Night Live Cast Members and Featured Performers?

Not a tout, but anyone getting HOF hype before a debut makes me think of the bizarre reasoning Warner Wolf used to say he thought Joba Chamberlain should have made his debut in the starting rotation! He’s on his Sunday morning ESPN radio show in the summer of 2006, and touted Yankee prospect Joba Chamberlain is expected to get a call up. Due to him being drafted straight out of college there was discussion among Yankee fandom about how he’d be handled (Joba Rules becamr a meme, and a shirt based on how the organization wanted to slowly move him along). So, Wolf is discussing this, and says Chamberlain should be inserted into the starting rotation right off the bat. Okay, it was a fair opinion, though it’s not what the Yankees ended up doing when he was called up in August of 2007. What wasn’t fair, and very odd was his reasoning. To that point he claimed, ALL PITCHERS in the baseball Hall of Fame were starters first! 😳🤨🤣 Okay, now doing some research, this actually makes absolutely ZERO sense, at all. Chamberlain was drafted in 2006, legendary 1980s (Cubs, Cardinals) closer Bruce Sutter, who never started a single game in the majors was finally elected to the Hall in January of 2006, inducted in July. I mean sure the point was more “the path too Cooperstown is rare for full time closers from the start of their careers” but it wasn’t ZERO when Chamberlain was being hot shorted through the Yankee organization. Anyway, suffice to say, the reasoning is pretty dumb. Like anyone is genuinely thinking about a prospect’s eventual induction into Cooperstown, and how to fast track it, is in ANY ONE involved in an organization’s player development, managerial and coaching staffs! FWIW, Chamberlain did have a decent enough 10-year career, though as a long reliever. Never appeared on a Hall of Fame ballot! The other point is, it’s clear research wasn’t put into the assertion about the amount of starting pitchers in the Hall of Fame being starters from their debut forward. It is, and has been possible since the late 1990s with sites like RetroSheet.org and Baseball-Reference.com but it is still time consuming to put in to see if, like the three pre-Sutter relievers in Cooperstown, if they all were clearly starters right away, or eased into it for whatever reason (ie Nolan Ryan split his pitching time in 1969 for the Mets as a spot starter and long reliever). So the point is still more how Wolf pulled the assertion out of his ass. With no regard for any facts to back it up beyond the three closers already in the Hall at that time being well known for being used as starters primarily for the first few years, at least, of their careers.

And he’ll get a ring as well!

Expect MFY-Red Sox to be promoted on the same historic level as the 03-04 ALCS!

Reds drop today like a team knowing the Mets are going to blow it anyway

Very good character actor from the 1970s through the 1990s. Usually tough guy archetypes. He’s the Cleaner, Winston Wolf in Pulp Fiction, and low level bank robber Mr. White in Reservoir Dogs. The movie with him going the full monty that Edgy is talking about is Bad Lieutenant from 1992.

. OE: Didn’t realize Cena actually has been a “rally cheer inducer” for the Mets this season, off of Soto using his hand gesture taunt

Surprised the no doubt member of the HOF Class of 2031, so far, Clayton Kershaw hasn’t been mentioned yet. Will ride out the Dodger postseason run, then will bid adieu to his playing days.

They announced during the introductions of the Alumni Classic that the memorial patch will be worn for the entire 2026 season.
