Off the top of my head, I don't know much about this Met and I'm not in the mood to google him, either. So I'll tell you what little I do know: He was a Met, a Toppless Met. But The Man From Topps yada yada yada you know the drill sees everything blah blah blah. The late Jay Kleven. Oh yeah. He died. I knew that too. Plus, Rader never played for the Mets. You wanna extend the format of this quiz to players who were never Mets? I doubt I'd do any better. I followed the team real hard in the early 70's and I have no idea who that is. update: Kleven? Never heard of him.

'Cause like Kevin McReynolds, you won't find this pitcher on Topps cardboard in a Padres uniform. For that, you'll need to seek out The Man From Topps. Bob Miller. Guy above I thought maybe Doug Rader but after google'n him to see, no. I said he was a pitcher. The Red Rooster manned the hot corner. I don't read I just look at the pictures. Oh. K, Ill read too. The Red Rooster,lol.

Thnx DJ. Back in those days I was used to double headers but not two in two days. I thought that odd. Baseball does not realize what a great thing a double header was. How much positive fan support they received back from once in a while throwing us a free game. Idiots.

Looking for a lil help please. I'm looking for a photograph. I've searched for days. In Bunnings '64 perfecto @ Shea, Tony Taylor made a great play to rob a hit. Does anyone have this photo or know where I can find it? I saw the photo in a book about the Mets I had as a kid, so I know it exists. Also some information. That weekend the Mets played the Phils 5 times in three days. Does anyone know if these were scheduled or was one of the double header games a make up? They played a double header on Friday and then again on Sunday. All I can find at UMD indicates these were scheduled games.

Serving Lutz. Party of one.

Doodoo don't.

Megdal likes the smell of his own feces. Whats not allowing the team to deal Daniel Murphy, Lucas Duda, Ike Davis and Wilmer Flores for help in the outfield or the bullpen in the off season? Those two players? I just don't understand him.

Which skin tone looks most correct? I imagine this is an individual taste kinda thing. Over the years I've noticed I see colors more vividly than other people - not quite Van Goghish but in that direction. Btw, thats like a poll question for everyone. I don't totally trust my eyes after working a pic for a long time. And let me rephrase the question: Which skin tone looks more like it would in a photograph? (In the Wes pics above^) I'd say number 1, though it could use maybe just a little more yellow. Number 2 is a bit too rosy. And number 3 might be the one if you took the saturation down a touch. But they're all pretty damn convincing.Edgy MD wrote: Number two speaks of a spring training complexion. It gets my vote. thnx guys. I'm gonna try 3 with a sat tone down. That might look more like the skin tones on that years cards too. 1 with a little yellow might have the same effect. I see now, on the 66 Topps, Wes's skin was a tad to the orange side. I personally agree with you Edge, 2 looks most spring ruddy. I'll just try all those tweaks you mentioned DJ. That's the fun of it. The Jim Bibby pic is excellent!

Aaron Harang. Ha! Who ever thought it would come to this?

Any manager who kicks himself after winning a game (only exception being a player injury due to something done) just likes to kick himself.

Ahh, baseball, how I do love thee. Nice ending.

OOO, I'll put on that game.

Ventura looks like such a putz in that picture.

Edgy MD wrote: Mets pitchers done in by Distracto Boy. Yo, they were doing that all night. There was a guy back there making faces and hand gestures most of the game. Only when the Mets were in the field, of course. I bet that's his kid. Yea, GJ, raising your kid to be an asshole like you.

Off topic but I have to get me one of those ASG jerseys. Its got the skyline and the bridge and the Wright one has a C on it. There's a nice Harvey but I gotta go for the Wright for this one. I want a sure Met HoF'r for a buck fiddy.
