The last game, prior to yesterday, that Wright, Beltran, Delgado, and Reyes all missed was September 19, 2006. The day after they clinched the NL East. Who were the starting 9 that day? Hint: Only one of them was in last night's lineup. 1. , ss 2. , cf 3. , lf 4. , 3b 5. , 1b 6. , 2b 7. , rf 8. , c 9. , lhp Courtesy of Adam Rubin, screwed would-be Mets employee.

]Hint: Only one of them was in last night's lineup. That clue is killing me... unless its Hernandez... 1. Anderson Hernandez, ss 2. Blastings Thrilledge, cf 3. Eli Marrero, lf 4. Chris F Woodward, 3b 5. Julio Franco, 1b 6. Jose Valentin, 2b 7. Shawn Green, rf 8. Ramon Castro, c 9. Ollie Perez, lhp

AHern is right. You've got some guys right, but out of position. Specifically, Woodward, Franco and Milledge. 1. Hernandez, ss 2. , cf 3. Milledge , lf 4. Franco , 3b 5. , 1b 6. Woodward, 2b 7. , rf 8. , c 9. , lhp

Endy Chavez was probably the center fielder that day. And since we're talking lefty pitchers, I'm going to guess Tom Glavine.

Right on both counts Val. 1. Hernandez, ss 2. Chavez, cf 3. Milledge , lf 4. Franco , 3b 5. , 1b 6. Woodward, 2b 7. , rf 8. , c 9. Glavine, lhp

Eli Marrero behind the plate would be my guess if it wasn't Castro. Going to try Green at first

HahnSolo Aug 12 2009 06:56 AM I'll guess DeFelice behind the plate, Ledee in center, and Michael Tucker at first. RealityChuck Aug 12 2009 06:57 AM An interesting bit of trivia for that game: Julio Franco played third base. The previous time he had played third base in the majors, his shortstop, Hernandez, hadn't been born. seawolf17 Aug 12 2009 07:02 AM ="RealityChuck":or0liclz]An interesting bit of trivia for that game: Julio Franco played third base.

He actuallly played a couple of innings a week before that to prep for his coming start. Hernandez played that day also, as it was bench-emptying blowout. I believe the Mets won that September 19 game behind an Anderson Hernandez homer. Gwreck Aug 12 2009 08:34 AM Yes, it was Hernandez' first ML homer. Of course, it wasn't last game they missed (and neither was last night) as Reyes pinch-hit late in the game, as did Wright last night.
