Watching Johan Santana pull on the Mets uniform made me flashback to another great Met who wore #57- Eric Valent.valent

Why? I have no idea. Maybe it’s because on July 29, 2004 he hit for the cycle, or maybe it’s because nothing quite sums up the “Art Howe Era”, quite like Valent. He’s like the quintessential bad Met who was very easy to root for. Heck, the guy has his own fan site.

Alas, those days are gone, and as much as people want to dwell on the collapse look on the bright side, Eric Valent isn’t in the middle of our lineup.
