If "first save" had been on the table, I wonder if anybody would have guessed Pelfrey.

Hey guys! I never corrected last year's contest!

Tell me the Met to record the first of 2010 in each of the following categories:

1. First hit Wright
2. First double Barajas
3. First triple Bay -- Nobody got this right
4. First home run Wright
5. First stolen base Castillo
6. First baserunner caught stealing/picked off Matthews
7. First guy to hit into a double-play Cora -- nobody got this right
8. First batter to strike out Jacobs
9. First fielder to commit an error Wright
10. First guy to score a run Castillo
11. First guy to drive in a run Wright
12. First Met player to field a batted ball Wright
13. First Met to draw a walk Castillo
14. First Met relief pitcher to make an appearance - Nieve -- nobody got this right
15. First Met to reach base on an error Castillo
16. First winning Met pitcher Santana -- just about everyone scored this
17. First losing Met pitcher Takahashi -- no correct answers: Q removed from this year's contest by NADS
18. First Met to throw a wild pitch Maine Nobody had this right
19. First Met to be hit by a pitch Cora
20. First Met pitcher to plunk an opposing batter Rodriguez

Here are the standings:
BFMC 5
Hahn Solo 5
John Cougar Lunchbucket 5

Transmonk 4
Chad Ochoseis 4
Gwreck 4
Ceetar 4
Olerud Owned 4
Rockin Doc 4

Kong 76 3

Ashie62 2
Benjamin Grimm 2

GYC 1

It will come down to a 3-way playoff on Jerry Manuel's first ejection, which I still have to check. Any help there?

He was ejected on fireworks night (July 5) when the umpires first ruled Scott Rolen out on a held third-strike foul-tip but reversed their call after Rolen whined like a little baby that the ball had hit him instead. I think that was the first but am still checking.

edit: Monday, May 10 vs. Washington was Manuel's first ejection of 2010. Reyes got thrown out by Laz Diaz for slamming his helmet down after a called third strike. Manuel came out and also got ejected.

METS 7TH: Francoeur singled to first; Barajas singled to right
[Francoeur to third]; MATTHEWS BATTED FOR TAKAHASHI; Matthews

at home (pitcher to catcher to third), Barajas to second];
Castillo singled to left [Barajas scored, Pagan to second];
