That sanitation tee-shirt.

Al Leiter?

Mike Piazza Benitez

But don't invite Armando Benitez, who cost Franco a Cooperstown induction. And while you're at it, don't put Armando's face on one of this year's season tickets, and don't include him in SNY's list of the 50 greatest Mets, either.

Edgy MD May 30 2012 11:44 AM Re: Franco Day

I'd invite Benitez anywhere. ANYWHERE!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 30 2012 12:06 PM Re: Franco Day

He might also have a lot more motivation for it, though. Hey, but you know who could really keep the trash getting picked up on time? Sanitation Commissioner Jay Doherty. Why, who were you thinking of?

Valadius May 30 2012 12:46 PM Re: Franco Day

A representative of the American Mustache Institute.

Some goombah's from the old neighborhood.

SI Metman, for being the user who swiped the Franco mugshot from UMDB, causing Old Ben to nearly go all Clobberin' Time on this corner of the Met web.

John should throw out the ceremonial pre-game pitch. And it will be just off the plate. Later

Fman99 May 30 2012 10:04 PM Re: Franco Day

I don't think Francisco Franco should get his own day at Citi Field. This guy was a menace.

Met Hunter Jun 03 2012 06:16 PM Re: Franco Day

Cone, Leiter, Zeile, Fonzie, Saberhagen.

Edgy MD Jun 04 2012 06:54 AM Re: Franco Day

Bret Saberhagen, swingin' hipster. Who knew?

Who the hell designed this plaque? Jeff Wilpon?

Benjamin Grimm Jun 04 2012 11:13 AM Re: Franco Day

Do any of the Cooperstown plaques mention the players' undergarments?

Edgy MD Jun 04 2012 11:15 AM Re: Franco Day

I like that he's wearing a Mets insignia on that plaque.

batmagadanleadoff Jun 04 2012 11:50 AM Re: Franco Day

It's Tony Franciosa.
