The following are a list of clues for you to guess three different Ex-Mets:
Player #1 (easy):
- This ex-Mets SP pitched for the Mets in 1999 as a 40-41 year old. However, he spent most of his career with the Dodgers.
- For the Dodgers, he won the Cy Young in 1988 and led them to a World Series victory that same year.
- Since his retirement, he has been the pitching coach of the Rangers and an analyst for Baseball Tonight.
Player #2 (medium):
- This OF journeyman made the Mets roster in the second half of the 2006 season, with the Mets needing OF help from the bench down the stretch. Surprisingly, he made the Mets post-season roster over Lastings Milledge.
- He bounced around in his career, playing for the Royals, Braves, Reds, Cubs, Giants, Phillies and Mets.
Player #3 (hard):
- A football and baseball player at Central Florida, where he caught passes from QB Daunte Culpepper, this OF was drafted by the Cardinals in the 18th round of the 1998 draft. The Mets claimed him off of waivers in 2001, before he ever played a big league game.
- His speed was always his greatest tool. In nine minor league seasons he stole 507 bases. Notably in 2000 for to Potomacc Cannons (high A) he stole 109 bases.
- The Mets were the only big league team he ever played for, playing for them in 2002 and 2004. Despite his limited power, he hit a walk-off HR against the Expos in 2002 in the 11th inning. In 13 at-bats for the Mets that season he also stole four bases.
Post your guesses in the comments section, and good luck. Answers will be posted here tonight.
