I don't have any memory of Ostrosser as a player but could tell you he wore no. 19. Thanks for turning a cool humblebrag into a douchy one, though. That part was great.
I know it's probably bad taste, but *how* bad taste for a poll on this Escobar situation? Could be anything from a foolish type off field injury-- a skydiving mishap, perhaps -- to a serious disease state. This is a Wilpon-Era type mystery that's thankfully become rare
Buck: "do you want Yellich"? Diaz: "sit down Buck! SIT DOWN Yellich!" That was great. The IFers didn't even get to the mound by the time Buck left. An iconic moment, even. It was awesome
I have vague memories of a guy who hit a home run with a broken foot in a Jerry Manuel hame but that was well done. You should graft on his vital statistics-- date of birth, perfunctory stats. Etc, and submit as a SABR bio, give that story a little life

Using the some of the literal interpretations of this question my answer can only be Benny Ayala. I literally thought he would hit a home run in every at-bat over the course of a long career, and once it was clear that was no longer a realistic expectations for Ayala, I was unable adjust my expectations and therefore, am still compelled to think of Benny Ayala first among the 1,100 players to have passed through the org as guys I thought would have better careers as Mets.
