Jake Hager became the *eighteenth* New Met tonight. It's only May 15. Last time the Mets had eighteen New Mets this early in the season? When Ed Charles became the Eighteenth New Met in 1967, on May 12. The Nineteenth New Met in 1967 was Nick Willhite, but not until June 11. This means we have almost a month to make this the Fastest New Metliest Year since 1962. (I was going to put this in the Met Count thread, but I felt like it was interesting enough to stand on its own.)
