Help finding Trivia From Last Night

Ceetar Apr 08 2010 08:58 AM

Last night three Mets made their major league debut (Tejada, Takahashi and Mejia) I figure it's probably been a while since three guys made their major league debut, for the Mets, and especially not on Opening Day (I'm also willing to bet it's the first time it's happened from three different countries). Nevermind the fact that Takahashi is almost as old as the other two combined. I just have no idea how to look it up. Baseball Almanac has a yearly list of NL debuts by year, but I'm not going to go to 49 pages to look that info up. Anyone want to point me in the right direction?

April 26, 1995, strike-delayed Opening Night and first-ever game at Coors Field, had three MLB debuts by Mets: Ricky Otero, Brook Fordyce and Edgardo Alfonzo.
