Metly Opponents

While wasting time on sporcle, I noticed that the Los Angeles Dodgers Opening Day Lineup in 1991 had a very Met-ly look: CF Brett Butler 2B Juan Samuel RF Darryl Strawberry 1B Eddie Murray LF Kal Daniels 3B Lenny Harris C Mike Scioscia SS Alfredo Griffin P Tim Belcher That's five of nine. My challenge to you (and I don't know if there is an answer to this) scour all box scores you can get your hands on and get me an opponents' starting lineup that has five or more one-time Mets.

Can we use AL lineups? If so, can we count pitchers in addition to DHs? For example: Saturday, August 31, 1996 - Kingdome Orioles @ Mariners Roberto Alomar 2B Brady Anderson CF Cal Ripken SS Rafael Palmeiro 1B Bobby Bonilla RF Todd Zeile 3B Eddie Murray DH Pete Incaviglia LF Mark Parent C Scott Erickson P OE: Davey Johnson, Mgr.

Howard wore a Mets uniform, too.

This game had seven Mets players in the opposing starting lineup. (And nine in the Mets lineup.) That's the only Mets game that had as many as seven.

And wasn't Charles Johnson a phantom Met?
