Close your eyes, picture a Met wearing number 19. Now open your eyes and tell me that Met's name. (And puh-leeze don't make up some John Stephenson story if he's not really your first guy.) Looks to be a good number for recidivist careers.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 24 2012 12:25 PM Re: Hey Nineteen

It's close between him and Bobby O, but Young stuck around for a while. A "19" on slumped shoulders may be my definitive mental image of AY's era.

I was torn between Lenny Harris and Tim Foli, but the girth and corn rows reinforces the image of Harris. Foli's case gets augmented by a minor conflation with Ron Gardenhire --- both being white shortstops wearing 19 and sporting wispy mustaches. Sort of bookended the Torre era, too.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 24 2012 12:34 PM Re: Hey Nineteen

Definitely Bob Ojeda. In fact, he's the only player I can say with certainty wore 19. If you gave me 1,000 guesses, I wouldn't have picked 19 for Anthony Young. (On second thought, I probably could have gotten it in less than 50 guesses, but you get the idea.) I think that by the time Young (and Ryan Church) came along, I had pretty much stopped noticing uniform numbers. And... I thought Tim Foli wore 11 the second time around?

TransMonk Apr 24 2012 12:36 PM Re: Hey Nineteen

Bobby O, with Lenny Harris and Roger Cedeno finishing 2nd and 3rd.

Entirely possible. The 11's were coming fast and furious for a while there.

Bobby O

Did you know they assigned Zach Lutz 19? Not a good sign for Herrera, though he was off the 40 and will be missing for the year anyhow, I can't help but think we've seen the last of him. I clicked Anthony Young as soon as I saw him, but given some thought I might also have said Ojeda or Gardenhire.

Fman99 Apr 24 2012 06:59 PM Re: Hey Nineteen

Bobby O. I can't picture anyone else wearing it, mostly because I've actively blocked out the Cedeno years.

Tim Foli. The rumor was that the basketball coach at the high school I attended my jr. and sr. years was Tim's brother Ernie Foli. Don't know if it was true, but I believed it.

MFS62 Apr 24 2012 09:41 PM Re: Hey Nineteen

I voted Gardenhire. First one who came to mind. Later

Valadius Apr 25 2012 12:03 PM Re: Hey Nineteen

Cedeno.

TheOldMole Apr 26 2012 10:02 AM Re: Hey Nineteen

Hard not to pick Ken MacKenzie (well, only for two of us), but I went with Bobby O.
