You should definitely have made this a kwiz.

December 9 --- the day somebody would have guessed Tatis.

So Citi Field is successful in being environmentally-friendly by using so little power.

Kind of apropos of nothing, but I think Hank Greenberg once hit 39 home runs in Tiger Stadium--in one season.

Tiger Stadium (under various names) was berry berry good to Hank as he hit just shy of 62% of his HRs at home (205 of 331) Mel Ott is the main guy I think of when it comes to home-cooking domination. He hit more than 63% of his dingers at home (323 of 511)

Edgy MD Aug 27 2013 02:57 PM Re: Citi Field Power Usage

Mel Ott is the main guy I think of when I think of Sheman Potter. [list]Winchester: Colonel, what gin rummy is to games of skill, Zane Grey is to literature. Therefore, I shall counter with something civilized-- Caruso. Potter: Enrico Caruso, the singer? Winchester: Yes. I do believe he sings. Potter: Nix on that. I hate opera! Winchester: Colonel, a closed mind is an empty mind. All I ask is that you listen and I assure you you will be carried away on majestic clouds of musical rapture. ... Potter: The guy sounds like a banshee in a bear trap. ... Winchester: Sir, this man is one of the giants of serious music. Potter: If I want music, I’ll send for my Tex Ritter 78s. If I want a giant, I’ll send for Mel Ott![/list:u] I realize it's Alda-fueled second-generation M*A*S*H*, but there's something pure about watching Potter get sputtering furious.

Potter: If I want music, I’ll send for my Tex Ritter 78s. If I want a giant, I’ll send for Mel Ott! Winchester: "While I'm not familiar with Mr. Ott's work, a cowboy crooner, even one as noteworthy as 'ol Tex' can not be mentioned in the same breath as the immortal Enrico Caruso!" Potter: "Oh yeah, you want to compare pipes, can that Caruso fellow YODEL?" Winchester: "Not even at gunpoint!"

Your National League home run champ is still presented with the Mel Ott Award every year.

G-Fafif Aug 29 2013 02:31 PM Re: Citi Field Power Usage

Anthony Recker's home run today gave him sole possession of 19th place on the Mets' all-time Citi Field HR chart with 4.

So do you suppose that any hitter reaches 100 CitiField HRs EVER? I mean, aside from Ryan Zimmerman of course.

David, meanwhile, works feverishly to grab a bat and extend his lead over the last two series of 2013. Until he's activated, he's just not as bold as Murph or, dare we say, Duda.

After five seasons and one week, here's your Top 10 Mets Citi Field HR leaders: 1. Wright 41 2. Davis 30 3. Duda 23 T4. Murphy 15 T4. Pagan 15 6. Beltran 14 7. Hairston 13 8. Reyes 13 9. Bay 10 10. Francoeur 9 With his HR Opening Day, Andrew Brown (4) tied Anthony Recker for 19th place. Juan Lagares (2) forged a nine-way tie for 27th place. Curtis Granderson became the 15th Met since 2009 to accumulate one HR at Citi Field, good for 36th place. Fifty Mets have hit at least one home run at home since their current ballpark opened.

The person who predicted that Jason Bay's home HR total with the Mets would be 10 can step right up and collect their prize.

Okay -- I would've adjusted my prediction some once I saw those moronic outfield dimensions that Jeff Wilpon installed in the new stadium, but still, 10? Met lifetime 10?

At the break, some movement at hand: 1. Wright 46 T2. Davis 30 T2. Duda 30 4. Murphy 17 5. Pagan 15 6. Beltran 14 T7. Hairston 13 T7. Reyes 13 9. Bay 10 10. Francoeur 9 11. Nieuwenhuis 8 T12.

Brown 4 One more homer at Citi Field pushes Lucas Duda into sole possession of second place. Kirk Nieuwenhuis one homer from taking a share of tenth place. Chris Young and/or Curtis Granderson theoretically threaten to crowd out Jason Bay and, at last, Jeff Francoeur, depending on what Nieuwy does. Other actives and semi-actives: Juan Lagares 2; Taylor Teagarden 1; Eric Campbell 1; Bobby Abreu 1; Eric Young 1; Omar Quintanilla 1; Jeremy Hefner 1.

He's gonna get a sand shark headed righted for his noggin in his next at-bat. Unless Shawn Estes is pitching, which means a slow-moving shark in the general direction of his butt with Bobby V fuming in the dugout.

G-Fafif Aug 31 2014 06:23 PM Re: Citi Field Power Usage

A six-way tie for 14th place was forged during the just-completed homestand among Anthony Recker, Travis d'Arnaud, Curtis Granderson, Chris Young, John Buck and Fernando Tatis, all of whom have hit 6 home runs as Mets at Citi Field. Marlon Byrd has 7 as a Met, 8 overall, after his home run in the wrong uniform Saturday night.
