Lemur Silly is the perfect guess, with a tour of duty as a regular and a second one as a bench player. And indeed, he clubbed four homers as a pinch-hitter, over an impressive spread of 12 years, with one in 1977, two in 1987, and a final one on the way out the door in 1989.

Nice, but not me.

Ramon Castro? Nothing for the big guy. Jeremy Burn Itch. Wouldn't have gotten that in a week. If you're blue And need someone to go to For powerful pinch hits! Don't you pick Burnitz! Nothing. NOTHING! Forgot about Hendu. Howzabout 1979? An incredibly power-sapped year. But not on that one glorious day when Dan Norman socked a two-run pinch homer off of Doug Bair. And the base color was beige, because base is beige. Right now, though the socks are gray. Not quite on the timing, but I'll accept this. Beige (or tan) was one of two colors in my stripey sox of yesterday. I've just realized that I had Henderson wrong. Steve hit four pinch-hit homers, not five.

Drawing a blank. Poorest year? I'll say 1980. Well, I already tol' ya Steve Henderson went deep in 1980. If I didn't, I'm telling you now. Steve Henderson went deep in 1980, one of four times a Met did so that year while pinch-hitting. We're looking for a shutout season. Your socks were blue, in the spirit of winter fun. My socks, as of the original posting, had blue toes and heels. Some credit to you. Joel Youngblood? Also still searching for his first Mets pinch-hit homer.

Long-time regulars is the way to go at this point. Piazza hit three --- one every other year from 1998 to 2002. No cigar, but good thinking.

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Jim Beauchamp Jim Beauchamp's next pinch-hit homer for the Mets will be his first. And since he's dead at the present time, it will prove quite the challenge. He did pinch-hit a homer for Houston in 1970 in the second game of the season. It was a his last homer as an Astro. John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Your socks are black As this quiz is now into it's third day, I have changed my socks a few times. But no, they were not black at the time of the original post; nor are they black now. John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Fewest pinch homers = 1967 You are cleverly aiming at a period of depressed offense, and 1967 is a good guess --- one of five seasons in which the Mets clobbered only one signle pinch-hit homer. In this case, the season's pinch-hit glory belonged to Jerry Buchek. On July 9, again in game two of a doubleheader, Jerry pinch-hit with two-outs in the ninth for power-poor leadoff hitter Bud Harrelson and socked a game-tying solo homer off of Braves reliever Dick Kelley. Kelly got all riled and three walks and a single later, the Mets walked off victorious. But in one season, the Mets got no such acts of heroism at all. Desi Relaford Desi proved quite an able backup, but never gave us a pinch homer. Unlike Beauchamp, though, there's still time. John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Oh, Marlon Anderson before he sucked. Marlon pulled it off three times, including a fantastic inside-the-parker, but they occurred in three different seasons, so he makes neither of our lists, where the cutoff is four on the career, or three on an individual season. Still, though... Marlon.

And the pinch-homeriest season for the Mets was 1983, with 12, for no particular reason other than they were excited to have Keith around, I guess. Well, Keith is relevant in that his presence meant a lot fewer (like, none) starts for the four lefthanded hitting firstbaseman already on the roster. 1983 is correct. In addition to the already-noted four pinchie homers by Heep and three by Rustic, Mark Bradley had two and the team got one each from Mike Jorgensen, George Foster, and Dave Kingman (another guy who got more pinch-hit opportunities thanks to Keith. What was the Mets worst season for pinch-hit homers? 1965. Five times in 1965, Casey Stengel and/or Wes Westrum told a player to get up and grab a bat, and was rewarded with the four bags of glory. Ron Swoboda did it twice, Jim Hickman, Charley Smith, and Johnny Lewis pulled it off once each. A pretty solid year from the pinch-hit-slugging point of view, and therefore not our poorest season. Damion Easley 2007 I admire you going for both the player and the year. Damion knocked but one out in 2007. It was a nice one though. On April 24, 2007, game two of a double header, Aaron Cook and Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez locked up in a shutout battle. Each went seven before yielding to the bullpen, even though it was game two and the pens were gassed, because 100 pitches. Aaron Heilman looks at Cook and says "You're not the only Aaron throwing bullets tonight," and gives the Mets a clean eighth before yielding to Billy Wagner. This wasn't good, and Wagner throws a shutout ninth and strikes out the first tow of the tenth before yielding a run on a double to Willy F. Taveras and Triple to Troy Tulowitzki. (Memo to Billy W.: The pitcher was on deck --- WALK TULO!) Shawn Green and Jose Valentin made two quick outs in the Mets' 10th, because that is what they did in 2007, before Willie called on Damion. After 29 fruitless outs, one pitch from defeat, Damion drove the next offering from Brandon Fuentes deep over the left-centerfield wall. Easley exited the game in the eleventh, replaced by Scott Schoeneweis, but he joined the celebration in the 12th when Endy Chavez brought Green home with a walkoff bunt single.

Muscle Shoals' Fame Studios makes an appearance in the film, as the site of the awkward place where some of these talented African-American singers get asked to sing on... a new single by some guy named Leonard Skinnard called "Sweet Home Alabama." They recognize the song's theme seemingly before even seeing the lyrics sheet. They're deeply conflicted but, for reasons that aren't quite made clear, they accede to the advice of older peers and an older husband to sing on the song, and making their own statement by singing the hell out of it.

Documentary visits some of the most prolific backup singers from the entire span of the rock era (did you know a teenage Darlene Love sang backup on "The Monster Mash"?), looks at the alignments of fates that allowed them long careers but kept them forever in the shadows of higher-profile, but often lesser, talents.

Trachsel My Tears wrote: Some first baseman. Ed Bouchee? On April 18, 1962, the Mets were down 8-0 in the bottom of the fifth. Desperate to get back into the matchup, Casey Stengel watched the unlikeliest of rallies unfold in front of his eyes. Jim Marshall opening with a base hit wasn't so crazy, but then Bobby Gene Smith, hitting .077, followed with a walk and .125-hitting Don Zimmer, matched that with a walk of his own. One imagines that Johnny Keane took a walk out to the mound to coax Larry Jackson into throwing strikes, and it would seem to have worked when number-eight hitter Hobie Landrith flew to center. A run scored, but, you know, just get outs. Casey looked up his bench, he looked down his bench. He looked up one more time. As deep as their hole was, Ol' Kase hadn't yet gone to his bench, having left Sherman "Roadblock" Jones in to take his medicine thus far. Kase called the name "Bouchee" (or more likely "Doc" or "Melvin" or something), and with runners at the corners, Bouchee launched the first pinch-hit homer in Mets history, plating two runs and cutting the lead of the might Cardinals in half, to 8-4. What a glorious moment --- ultimately a prelude to an eventual 15-5 loss. I'd ask Ed how it felt but he died in January.

Whoever it was, it only takes one guy talking out of school, and then it's "the Mets." That's unfair and illogical, but that's how it is. Still seems silly that Beltran thinks of it as a deal. Mets made a point to support his school, I believe financially as well as promotionally. A new-to-the-job Alderson flew down to Puerto Rico to attend a big gala and throw the Mets support for the project.
