2011 Topps Mets quiz

seawolf17 Jan 31 2011 01:27 PM

In addition to the team leaders (Jon Niese led the Mets in K's?!?!?), the back of the Mets team card this year features four bullet point "highlights" from games in 2010. What are they?

I thought the ship date for series 1 was 2/2/11. So..I don't know lol.

R.A. Dickey got something on there, I'm sure.

Dabidrye became the first Met to drive in 100 runs in five separate seasons.

Dickey's one-hitter on August 13th is the third, chronologically, of the highlights. Point for Val. Wright is nowhere to be found on the card.

Six distinct and separate former Mets died in 2010... if you count Jane Jarvis.

All wonderfully pathetic highlights, but none of them single-game and therefore apparently ineligible for Topps' list. Although Ike is involved in the last one.

Dickey's one-hitter was also the game the Mets played with Rodriguez cooling in the CitiField cell, correct?

seawolf17 Jan 31 2011 02:48 PM Re: 2011 Topps Mets quiz

No on all of those. First missing one (the second) featured a feat that happened for the first time in 55 years; the other (the last one) celebrated the third 2010 occurrence of an unusually specific stat, and there's no way you figure it out.

R.A. Dickey debuts successfully! Angel Pagan initiates a triple play! Angel Pagan hits an inside the park home run! Mets lose!

Three different catchers hit walk-off HRs, the Thole one happening in the last week or so of the season.

Game ending on a pickoff play at second?

Gwreck Jan 31 2011 04:35 PM Re: 2011 Topps Mets quiz

Jon Niese's 28-batter 1-hitter (which also featured a triple play turned by the Padres) was probably the best game of the year for the Mets.
