I wanna vote #3 but his blue sleeves under the black jersey are distracting. Who's the batter there? Looks like a Phillie.

i voted 3 just because it seemed like the most 'sure' single.

I voted #7 because he had to make that throw through a lot of bodies who were in his line of sight.

I liked number four. It seemed to embody his brand of: "I'm always in position to throw. I'm Rey Ordòñez.

Fans got down on Rey in the later years, but he brought much enjoyment.

It didn't help things when he called us all stupid.

Gotta be that love-at-first-sight throw from his knees.

I remember he did that, but it never bothered me much. Sometimes people pop off.

Yeah, but popping off doesn't generally win you any popularity contests.

Rey just didn't hit enough for me.

His offense was obviously affected by the large dimensions at Shea. Had he played in a fair park, he would have averaged 2 home runs per season.

He was already under seige at that point, suffering relentless, profane, unfair, and humilating abuse. The "fans got on" him period certainly precipitated the comment, rather than vice versa.

Yeah that one's a bad ass.

It didn't help when he couldn't hit. Oh yeah, put me down for the tumble and roll in front of Alfonzo.

Looks a lot like him:

Rey was still around when Alomar was there?, was it that long ago?...Robbie was the recipient of the flip?
