Feliciano is correct. For #3, when the question was first posed, the answer was three, but I think we're up to four now. 1. When the Mets shutout the Phillies three times in a row in May 2010, it was the second time in team history they shutout the same team in three straight games. In 1969, they did it against the Phillies. Name the winning pitchers who did it that time. Hint: The year was one of the team's highlight seasons. The team they did it against one that is now one of their primary rivals. The winning pitchers debuted for the team in 1967, 1967 and 1969. Hint: Jesse Hudson and Wayne Garrett debuted for the Mets that year. The team it was against featured Grant Jackson and Dick Allen. The winning pitchers made 12, 2 and 0 All-Star Games, respectively. Hint: Gil Hodges managed the Mets that year. The team it was against won the World Series in 1980 and 2008. The winning pitchers won 198, 140 and 41 games for the Mets, respectively. Hint: Carlton Fisk, Darrell Evans and Toby Harrah all debuted that year. The team it was against once had a third baseman named Mike Schmidt. The pitchers who did it won 311, 222 and 46 career games, respectively. --originally posted by "Joe Rigatoni" 2. Who are the only players to play 150 or more games for the Mets in their rookie year? --originally posted by "milladrive" 3. On June 16, 2010, the Mets strung together four consecutive doubles against the Indians, tying a National League record. The Mets had previously in their history accomplished the feat of four consecutive doubles. What was the date? --originally posted by "milladrive" 4.

Heilman was still active, but he wasn't on the June 10, 2003 roster. It was another reliever, a bit more perpetually effective.
-
It was 1969, well done. Imagine, if you will, the first three pitchers in that year's rotation. Then you'll likely have a good idea who the pitchers involved in the feat were.
-
Mackey Sasser, Clint Hurdle, 1970 and Ty Wiggington are correct. However, in addition to Wigginton, there was another player, as well. He might or might not have been an effective reliever. #1 wasn't 1968, but you're close, however the Phillies guess is correct. Some new questions have been added. 1. When the Mets shutout the Phillies three times in a row in May 2010, it was the second time in team history they shutout the same team (the Phillies) in three straight games. When was the first time they shutout the same team in three straight games? Please tell me the year they did it and name the winning pitchers. Hint: The year was one of the team's highlight seasons. The team they did it against one that is now one of their primary rivals. The winning pitchers debuted for the team in 1967, 1967 and 1969. Hint: Jesse Hudson and Wayne Garrett debuted for the Mets that year. The team it was against featured Grant Jackson and Dick Allen. The winning pitchers made 12, 2 and 0 All-Star Games, respectively.

The pitchers who did it won 311, 222 and 46 career games, respectively. --originally posted by "Joe Rigatoni" 2. Jose Reyes first debuted with the Mets on June 10, 2003, playing one game in the Majors at age 19. Who, besides Reyes, were the only other players on that June 10, 2003, Mets roster still actively playing in the major leagues as of June 2010? Ty Wigginton has been guessed correctly, but there is one more. --originally posted by "milladrive" 3.

Casey Stengel and a bird are correct! I believe it was a sparrow. Whatever it was, after it left his cap, it was a freeeeebiirrrrrd (I saw Lynyrd Skynyrd last night).

Howard Johnson and a Dwight Gooden homer are correct. Well done! When I did some research to verify whether HoJo was still accurate, I found that David Wright hit just one extra inning home run in his entire career. Crazy. A couple new questions have been added. 1.

Pete Alonso is in a walk year, and in the middle of his prime, and is one of the best pure power hitters in the game. I predict 61 home runs.

What's in Store for Twenty-Four?: Jeff McNeil
Cowtipper replied to Edgy MD's topic in New York Mets Talk
He's an every-other-year guy, so I'm thinking we'll see a decent year from McNeil. Actually, his final two months of 2023 were pretty great, so here's hoping he can carry that over. -
Just got done reading through his Fan Memories page the other day. Quite a well-regarded and respected guy.

Goose Gossage and Doug Drabek are correct. A new question has been added. 1. To my knowledge, there has only been ONE Mets player to have his only official Mets at bat be a game ending hit (and obviously if it was a game ending hit, it was a game winning hit). Rodney McCray did it. What year was it? Hint: Spent only one year with New York. Eddie Murray debuted for the Mets that year. Hint: Was mostly a pinch runner and defensive replacement, appearing in 18 games but having just one AB for the club. "End of the Road" was a #1 hit this year. Hint: His other major league team was the White Sox, with whom he played in 1990 and 1991. The year was Gary Carter's final season. Hint: Once ran through a wall. Hint: https://i.imgur.com/Fe0DYTG.png> Hint: Rodney McCray was guessed already. We just need the year. Future Mets Pedro Martinez, Mike Piazza and Jeff Kent all debuted this year, while former Mets Willie Randolph and Tim Burke played their final big league season this year. --originally posted by "m8644" 2. What was the weight of the apple at Shea? Hint: R.A. Dickey's winning percentage with the Mets was the same as the weight of the apple (remove the decimal point). Hint: Take Keith Hernandez's number, multiply it by John Maine's number and add Max Scherzer's number. Hint: Take Tom Seaver's number, multiply it by Gil Hodge's number, then add Gary Carter's number.

While we wait ... a couple new questions have been added. 1. To my knowledge, there has only been ONE Mets player to have his only official Mets at bat be a game ending hit (and obviously if it was a game ending hit, it was a game winning hit). Rodney McCray did it. What year was it? Hint: Spent only one year with New York. Eddie Murray debuted for the Mets that year. Hint: Was mostly a pinch runner and defensive replacement, appearing in 18 games but having just one AB for the club. "End of the Road" was a #1 hit this year. Hint: His other major league team was the White Sox, with whom he played in 1990 and 1991. The year was Gary Carter's final season. Hint: Once ran through a wall.

Dickey's winning percentage with the Mets was the same as the weight of the apple (remove the decimal point). Hint: Take Keith Hernandez's number, multiply it by John Maine's number and add Max Scherzer's number. Hint: Take Tom Seaver's number, multiply it by Gil Hodge's number, then add Gary Carter's number. --originally posted by "milladrive" 3. In 1988 McReynolds hit 2 grand slams, most on the team.....both of them were pretty significant and memorable. Who were the pitchers who threw the pitches? Hint: Pitcher One won a Cy Young Award in 1990. Pitcher Two was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2008. --originally posted by "m8644" 4. Edgardo had six hits in a game, a record tied by Wilmer Flores. But in that same game, he also set another team record. What was it? --originally posted by "milladrive" 5. Through May 2010, what [was] the ONLY current major league team to never play the Mets at the Polo Grounds, Shea or Citi in the regular season? -originally posted by "m8644" Running tally of correct guessers: Johnny Lunchbucket: 70 Edgy MD: 63 stevejrogers: 42 batmagadanleadoff: 23 DocTee: 8 metsmarathon: 8 Benjamin Grimm: 5 MFS62: 3 Marshmallowmilkshake: 1 The Hot Corner: 1
