Eye for All-Star Talent (Homegrown Quiz)

G-Fafif Jul 07 2014 11:28 AM

The Mets' awesomeness starts at the scouting stage when one of their men with a clipboard, a stopwatch and a keen eye for talent signs an amateur player who will eventually become an All-Star for the Mets. This has happened 17 times in the 53-year history of the franchise. How about naming, one at a time, a purely homegrown Met All-Star? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.
