Mike Hampton.

Dunston's last game was in 2002. Also, Dunston wasn't a 2000 Met.

Yoshii, like Dunston, played his last game in 2002. Yoshii, like Dunston, wasn't a member of the 2000 Mets.

Rich Rodriguez?

Nah, Abbott did some harm to us as a Brave afterwards. Checking, and holy crap. The closest thing to a complete game he played as a Brave, he drew some Met blood. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes ... 4120.shtml

I remember probably 80% of the roster, but not that guy who did play a decent amount of games. Kinda ashamed i don't even recognize his name.

He was 8th in ROY voting one year. Looking at the 2000 40 man there are at least 5 or 6 guys names I don't recall at all. Ryan McGuire, Dave Lamb, Jim Mann, Dennis Springer....then I click on Dennis Springer's name and see he gave up Bonds 73rd HR in 2001 and the name vaguely comes back to me. Damn The homer came off a 3-2 pitch clocked at 43 miles per hour (a knuckleball) in the bottom of the first inning of Los Angeles' 2-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Nov 03 2010 01:36 PM Re: Quiz Time -- 2000 Mets Content

I remember Nunnally from being surprisingly good in Triple Play '99 or '00 (whichever one I was playing that year).

John Cougar Lunchbucket Nov 03 2010 01:45 PM Re: Quiz Time -- 2000 Mets Content

Nunnally also had a great spring training, as I recall. I conflate him with Jermaine Allensworth, however, so I could be thinking of him.

batmagadanleadoff Nov 03 2010 01:48 PM Re: Quiz Time -- 2000 Mets Content

Nunnally the Met walked like Rickey Henderson: 17 walks in 74 official AB's

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Nov 03 2010 01:48 PM Re: Quiz Time -- 2000 Mets Content

IIRC, Video Nunnally put up really great pinch-hitting numbers for me DESPITE having terrible stats and ratings. It was odd-- he was essentially my Matt Franco surrogate (now HE was shitty in virtual life). Then again, Video Danny Graves saved 20-some-odd games for me in that same fake year, so... anything's possible.

One time, in college, I was playing Triple Play 99 against a friend and broke open a tied extra innings game with an inning that included two home runs from John Franco. My buddy never played Triple Play against me again.

Somewhere out there is a game-used jersey with MURRAY on the back that was NOT worn by a Hall-of-Famer but by a cup-of-coffee guy, which means it would be somewhat affordable, at least in the affordable way that some game-used jerseys can be. I have a Matt Murray from the 1995 Braves. I know the Mets had Dale Murray, but that might have been in the pre-name on back era. I have to check that one.

G-Fafif wrote: Longest Ago Mets Still Active chronology here. Nice work. The Mora segment confused me. It took me two hours to realize that you had written the piece in September, before the regular season ended. Ryan and Orosco combined for an almost 20 year grip on LAMSA. Not surprising. Orosco appeared in more games than any other pitcher in the history of baseball. And Ryan started more games than any pitcher in the modern era -the only era that matters when calculating LAMSA- (second only to Cy Young, all-time). Orosco was loogied to the extreme at the end of his career. His 21st Century (or aught's) Games to Innings Pitched ratio is greater than 2 to 1.
