The Daily News has a trivia question in a feature called "Extra Innings" , perhaps Martino brought that with him, Martino btw blogs each game.

Test Your Mets IQ


Other than Tom Seaver, what other Mets have worn # 41?

Don't go running to http://mbtn.net/ for the answer.

This is so easy that you all can't be bothered?

Okay, I'll venture a guess.

Was Jack Fisher one of them?

Jack Fisher - Nyet


Four players before Seaver wore that number.

Gordon Richardson was the last Met to wear #41, immediately prior to Seaver. I'm sure of this much. I don't know the other 41's, though.

Clem Labine. I wore my 1969 Seaver jersey to a card show, and he said "Hey, you're wearing my jersey!"

He was a nice guy.

As were all the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Sigh.

Re: Daily Snooze Trivia

The last player I am looking for finished his Mets career 2-0 having pitched 40 innings as an 18 year old , never again appeared in the Majors .


The memories of this player at UMDB features an interesting "memory" regarding this player and weather he was the only "bonus baby" ever signed by the Mets.

Lots of fat dudes sitting in the stands at Shea drinking beer have worn the number 41.

Re: Daily Snooze Trivia

I once met Ed Bauta, and asked him to sign with his Met number, and he signed #41. "Like Seaver" But I've never been able to confirm otherwise.
