=batmagadanleadoff post_id=121837 time=1681009012 user_id=68] Rusty 4 me. 10 was Rusty's preferred number. He wore 10 almost everywhere he played but 10 wasn't available in '72 when the Mets traded for Rusty and so he wore four instead. Rusty's the first player I think of when I think of a Mets #4. BTW, Flores' preffered # is 41, which obviously, he couldn't wear with the Mets. He couldn't reverse the order of the digits and take #14 either, so then four. But Flores wore 41 with the DBacks and now with the Giants.
