Holy Crap! I did it AGAIN!

Benjamin Grimm Oct 28 2005 09:30 AM

Twice in one week. I'm really setting myself up for heartbreak. Just this morning I got an e-mail from someone (not a player or coach) who was once connected with the Mets and whom many of us remember. And I invited him to join us here. So it's twenty questions time again. To avoid total confusion, I'll only answer the first question that's posed after each of my replies. Since this was a non-player, I have less information about him, so there may be more "I don't know" answers. I don't know whether he was born North or South of the Mason Dixon Line, for example, but I do know whether his name starts with a consonant or a vowel.

Is it Greg Cox?

sharpie Oct 28 2005 09:32 AM

Was this person a general manager?

Benjamin Grimm Oct 28 2005 09:32 AM

]Is it Greg Cox? Who? I mean, NO.

Was he a broadcaster?

Edgy DC Oct 28 2005 09:40 AM

Holy crap! Welcome Lou Niss!

Does his name kind of rhyme with Comiskey?

Steve Zabriskie come on down! Wonder what he's up to these days

"I remember Steve, too" Come on Yancy, you're on a roll...

="cooby"] "I remember Steve, too" Come on Yancy, you're on a roll... You want me to have three heartbreaks in a single week? How cruel you are! I may be forgetting something. Do we somehow have Mackey's contact information?

I suppose it would be impolitic to ask Zabriskie, "So Steve, did you ever just want to lean over and slap McCarver across the head?"

Hopefully he'll swing by here, too. Last time I remember thinking of him was seeing a clip of him and Ralph via a bloopers tape. Zabriskie is looking puzzled as Ralph is rambling (I think about Orosco) and you see some ???s pop up in quotation balloons Steve

As an aside, I never know where to find broadcaster/front office, etc profiles at umdb. can you collect them in a common front page link or am I overlooking something?

And suddenly he's in my e-mail box.

There are two ways to find them: Go to the page for the season in which they were with the Mets: http://www.ultimatemets.com/metannual.php?ThisYear=1983 Or, if they're in the mug shot gallery, you can get to them from here: http://ultimatemets.com/mugshots.php Steve Zabriskie's UMDB page

Check out our new registered user. I have confirmation from The Man himself that it's the real guy. He says he doesn't spend much time online, but he'll participate when possible.

sharpie Oct 28 2005 12:07 PM

Yancy, you're already leading in your parody contest, no need to recruit new guys to throw you an extra vote.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 28 2005 12:10 PM

I promised to write "The Ballad of Steve Zabriskie" if he'd vote for me.

Willets Point Oct 28 2005 12:44 PM

Now you can use Google Image Search to find pictures of joyful people!

Valadius Oct 28 2005 08:13 PM

Wait... who was the first one?

ScarletKnight41 Oct 30 2005 09:55 AM

Did Steve Z register himself, or did someone save the name for him?

Benjamin Grimm Oct 30 2005 11:07 AM

He wrote back and told me that he registered himself, but he doesn't know when or if he'll actually post anything here.

TheOldMole Oct 30 2005 01:20 PM

Steve -- glad to have you aboard, even as an occasional lurker, but we'd love to see you posting sometime.

Edgy DC Oct 30 2005 08:24 PM

We should collect a dozen or so questions for him, for when he's available to post.

metirish Oct 30 2005 08:35 PM

]He wrote back and told me that he registered himself, but he doesn't know when or if he'll actually post anything here. That would be dissapointing if he didn't post.. And I'm Mackey Sasser....Cooby post his picture...

Benjamin Grimm Nov 01 2005 11:57 AM

I think we should try to reel Steve in somehow. Maybe Edgy can close the deal. Steve's e-mail address is probably in his profile. A nice welcoming e-mail to our illustrious guest, explaining the many advantages of CPF participation (we get a discount at Midas Muffler, don't we?) might induce Steve to actually post here. I think I've proven that I'm not a deal-closer.
