I have to admit, you had me fooled. I thought this was going to be a thread attempting to put Oliver Perez in historical context.

The biggest dick? I'm waiting for Fman's thoughts first.

IIRC, when owner Joan Payson was told that the Mets had scored 19 runs in that game, she asked, "Did they win?" Later

Great stuff.... who knew that a Dick would be the first Met in team history to record five hits in a game , we need to stay tuned to see how many Dicks the Mets have had?

Benjamin Grimm Jun 04 2010 09:09 AM Re: Who's the Biggest Dick in Mets History?

I assume it's 887.

Nice start to the series, pregnant with background color, including the "fastest man" stuff and Dallas Green connection. But I have to admit, part of me was expecting to see numbers more like "7 1/2" and "5 3/4." (Isn't the answer to that question Raffy Santana, as per Pearlman?)

I would've thought with his big head, Mr Met would have the..... oh wait.

Without a doubt or any hesitation whatsoever: JERRY GROTE I know Perez is screwing his team mates but what I saw Grote do, he did to a child. That don't sound right Ugh. I really should read and use links and stuff. Very interesting piece JCL. And the site looks great. Haven't been there for a bit.

About 25 years ago I was told by a friend, that a friend of a friend of Wally Backman's told him that Wally said Dwight Gooden has the biggest dick in baseball and George Foster is the biggest dick in baseball. Hope that answers your question.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 04 2010 01:57 PM Re: Who's the Biggest Dick in Mets History?

I dunno. I just hadn't written anything for mbtn in a long while, wanted to get word out there.

Was the quote attributed to Backman in the book?

dgwphotography Jun 04 2010 06:05 PM Re: Who's the Biggest Dick in Mets History?

Yes, I remember it being attributed to Backman. Now I just have to find where I saw it....
