Shouldn't we try to stick to images of pitchers and catchers only?

Pitcher and Catchers, Spring 1962 style:



Jay Hook, Hobie Landrith, Chris Cannizzaro and Joe Ginsberg -- February, 1962

I didn't know of that rule... plus I think we're going to get real lean on images for those last few numbers.

Web says Pitchers and catchers and Injured Players, so that should encompass just about everyone right? ;-)

OK. I get it. Pitchers and (mostly) catchers in descending uniform # order.

Coaches and managers are in camp, too -- they should certainly count. This guy counts for all three categories, but he hadn't switched to #9 yet, so he's not eligible, at least with this photo.

Re: Pitchers and catchers

Westrum's tenure as manager of the Mets was not characterized by boldness. He had no take sign. Take was the default, unless he flashed the hit sign.

Chris Cannizzaro fitting in with Stengel's Mets. (That's pre-manager Westrum to you, mole)

Dang, I gave up on trying to find an image of the Mets' lowest-numbered pitcher where the number on his Mets' uniform was actually visible.

i'm going to be in the Tampa/St Pete area this friday thru Monday (2/12-2/15). Is there anything to see of ST, do you think? Or will i just be standing and watching pitchers warm up for a few hours?

Nothing official, even from Ps and Cs... and maybe not open to the public. Because the countdown's only at:

Pitchers & Catchers a lot more enticing than Snow Plows & Shovels, though I fear we will need both equally in the coming days.

I was so pissed when they added the black in 1962. I mean, seriously? The feckin' Dodgers and Giants never wore black.

Nifty video, courtesy of Lobbymaster Adam Rubin: Ollie Perez looking trim, and under control. Also... our first look (to Ollie's left/your right) at Hisa Takahashi-- and his sorta-herky-jerky load-- in a Met cap.

SIGN HIM BEFORE HE CHANGES HIS MIND: JoseJoseJoseJose wants to finish things as a Met, as per this conversation with Kevin Kernan.

[quote="Kernan"]The Mets have an $11 million option on his 2011 contract. He needs to produce. Reyes said he wants to remain a Met his entire career.
Reyes said he thinks if he stays healthy, the marriage will continue for many years.



To me, though, the article raises two other questions:

1) Who first made the one-off joke that two beat reporters turned into their fodder for ST column?
[quote="Kernan"]The initial reaction here is to say that Wright and Reyes are delusional. What's next, manager Jerry Manuel changing his uniform to No. 3?

2)[quote="Kernan"]There was a scene yesterday on the field that meant so much to Reyes.
"David said to me, 'Man, I'm glad you're back,' " Reyes said. "David was happy. I'm happy too to be back. We always joke around together on the field."

What jokes, pray tell, do renowned funnyman Wright and caustic social-commentator Reyes tell each other?
