Not sure if this has ever been mentioned here before, but in some sports a player's jersey includes both their squad/roster number [u:2uvtx9wp]and[/u:2uvtx9wp] their all-time number. Their all-time number is proportionate to and found near the team emblem on the front of the jersey or on the front collar. Should baseball instigate such a scheme?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 02 2011 08:18 AM Re: Met Count 2011

That would be both awesome and awesomely dorky knowledge to have at our fingertips. "I don't mean Pedro "19264" Martinez, I mean Pedro "20308" Martinez. Duh."

Edgy DC Apr 02 2011 08:27 AM Re: Met Count 2011

Should baseball institute such a scheme? I pray not. Should the Mets? Yes and immediately. I'd sew it in 3/4 inch digits right under the Mets logo patch on the sleeve. I mean, I'd have it sewn. I wouldn't actually sew it myself. That would get old.

I recall an argument between two teammates over who was which number. It centered around a numberplate on a Ferrari and a tattoo.

Edgy DC Apr 02 2011 08:50 AM Re: Met Count 2011

I don't get it. The numbers wouldn't change. The 900th Met (Scott Hairston) will always be the 900th Met.

Chronology, not rating/ranking.

Two players debuted in the same match, but neither were issued with a number because the practice wasn't followed at the time. One thought he was a particular number based on the fact he appeared first in the game, the other believed it was alphabetical and/or because he was drafted into the team first. When the scheme was implemented, they argued over who was who. (Tattoo was wrong, but numberplate relented, when tattoo paid for the numberplate change) What tiebreaker does Umdb use if two new players debut in the same game on defense? Batting order? Also forgot to mention all-time numbers are also sewn into the players' caps.

Each player has a unique number, but it's not strictly tied to their chronological order. (If there was a tiebreaker, though, it would be batting order.)

(If there was a tiebreaker, though, it would be batting order.) My first reaction of two first timers entering a game for defense would be the order in which they were announced into the game by the PA announcer should be the tie breaker. But then I realized they would be announced in accordance with the batting order. But I'm not sure if a new pitcher is also coming into the game, if in some ballparks the announcer would mention the pitcher before the position players. Later

Thirteen Met debuts in April, most in a season's first month since fourteen in 2005 and 2002.

Edgy DC Apr 30 2011 12:03 PM Re: Met Count 2011

And at least two farewells.

Mike Baxter = #911 Is he really the first new Met since late May?

Edgy DC Aug 08 2011 07:46 PM Re: Met Count 2011

Yup. Baxter follows Dale Thayer and a long gap, debuting with a hometown-scoring RBI double.

Willets Point Aug 09 2011 07:41 AM Re: Met Count 2011

Mike Baxter is our emergency Met.

Edgy DC Aug 09 2011 08:11 AM Re: Met Count 2011

Newly projected 1,000th Met: Jet Butler. He only seems to be on the verge of release.

Edgy DC Sep 01 2011 07:12 PM Re: Met Count 2011

Miguel Batista is Met number 912. And he wants to talk to you, seriously, about the dangers of rhinotillexomania.

Edgy DC Sep 01 2011 07:55 PM Re: Met Count 2011

No Satin! Justin Turner! Booooo! Booo, Terry, boooo!

G-Fafif Sep 02 2011 04:31 AM Re: Met Count 2011

Three of the last four and five of the last 23 new Mets have been Mikes (or, en Espaņol, Miguel). Mike Hessman Mike Nickeas Mike O'Connor Mike Baxter Miguel Batista [youtube:12ab2f8h]t7eE8hPyoBs[/youtube:12ab2f8h]
