Kwiz on Your Opening Day Mets

Twenty-five Mets, good men all, have started on opening day at two different positions in different years.

Three have started on opening day at three different positions.

Name these Mets.

I'm pretty sure (but not dead certain) 2000 was Hamilton's only Opening Day start. He was battling injuries in 2001 and Payton was the incumbent CF.

As I'm thinking about this, Mookie wouldn't have started in left on Opening Day, because his LF experience was mostly limited to '86 and after that we had Kevin McReynolds. I vaguely recall him in RF on Opening Day 1981 however, to go with his many starts in CF.

Not super confident on this one, but Tim Foli 2B & SS. I think Foli was at second to begin '78 and eventually switched positions with Flynn, which is where they would have started '79.

Or not.

OE: Kelvin Chapman started at 2B in '79. Flynn, however, had other 2B Opening Day starts later.

Re: Kwiz on Your Opening Day Mets

Ok, here's where I think we are. Seven guys remain unguessed (although it's quite possible some have been guessed correctly, but at the wrong position or positions, since you all have been good about including the positions).

One of the guys was alluded to, but not guessed, I think. Also, the Mets are puking up on the field in Arizona.

Three Positions:

Johnson:, 3B, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1993, SS, 1991, CF, 1992 =#0000FF](Frayed Knot)

Shamsky: 1B, 1970, LF, 1968, RF, 1971 =#0000FF](Vic Sage) --- I'm giving him four points here for being the only guy to name a three-position opener as a three-position opener.
Swoboda, LF, 1966, 1B, 1967, RF, 1968 =#0000FF](batmagadan) --- Precedent says I give you credit for this, but he two is a three-way opening-day player.

Two Positions:

Alfonzo: 3B, 1998, 2002, 2B, 1999, 2000, 2001 =#0000FF] (LeiterWagner)
Bonilla: RF, 1992, 1993, 1999, 3B, 1994 =#0000FF](G-Fafif)

Re: Kwiz on Your Opening Day Mets

What makes it interesting is that it's three bad fielders and one questionable one.

As Pete Rose showed us moving around the diamond, inability can be the mother of versatility. Even among the two position guys, how many modestly talented defenders have we guessed correctly so far? Alfonzo, Maddox, Wilson. Maybe Vizcaino.

Re: Kwiz on Your Opening Day Mets

Ok, no guessing and seven guys remain.

Hints:

The first guy played mostly outfield before becoming a Met, and then was mostly an infielder.

The second guy, I think, has a picture taken by TheMetFairy accompanying his Wikipedia article.

Guy number three was the first of his kind.

The fourth guy was traded for a phantom Met, a player who never suited up but was flipped a short while later.

Guy number five got into 883 games over eight seasons, but only three opening day starts.

Guy number six: Two-time All-Star, Gold Glove winner, triples champion, but none of that for the Mets.

Last guy was a legacy, his father having been a big-league pitcher.

OK, four two-timers left.

The first guy played mostly outfield before becoming a Met, and then was mostly an infielder.

Hint number two is that the team did well trading high on him.

Guy number two was the first of his kind.

Hint numbers two and three is that he came up when a Hall of Famer got hurt and made his debut in one of the most amazing games in the history of baseball.

The third guy was traded for a phantom Met, a player who never suited up but was flipped a short while later.

Hint number two is that he had his greatest performance in a game the Mets lost 11-5.

Guy number four: Two-time All-Star, Gold Glove winner, triples champion, but none of that for the Mets.

Hint number two is that he hit two homers in a World Series game.

The guy involved with the phantom Met is Doug Flynn, whom I had answered upthread, 2B & SS.

Re: Kwiz on Your Opening Day Mets

The awesome guy who did none of it for the Mets was Charlie Neal.

I looked up the other guy out of curiosity so I won't reveal it, but will add the clue that you probably wouldn't think of him as a starter.

Good job on Neal. Were you mentally searching through Casey's kids?

Does anybody want to bail him out and come up with that last?

With Justin Turner emerging as the 141st third baseman in Mets history, I was reminded anew there were a lot of early Met infielders who did a rotation at third despite being thought of as second basemen or shortstops. Neal crossed my mind yesterday, today's hints drove him home.

Re: Kwiz on Your Opening Day Mets

Can't answer, as I cheated and looked it up. Your earlier clue wasn't terribly helpful, considering he played in another league and in another country, although accurate.
