The Hit Parade on Ice Quiz

May 15 2015 09:25 AM

This is a variation on an older quiz. Who are the 15 MLB players with the most career hits for the Mets -- among players who never appeared in a post-season game for the Mets?

One player per post. No two in a row-ing.

When I researched this quiz, Kent's name surprised me the most. Can't say why, though, because if I was playing this quiz, I would've gotten Kent eventually, but maybe not before guessing some other Met who didn't belong on this list.

My last guess is Bonilla, although I woulda thought Brogna was
a better guess and he didn't make the cut.

Bonilla appeared in the 1999 post-season, although I'd bet anything that the brass overruled Bobby V when it came to including Bonilla on the post-season roster.

Me neither, unless I was allowed a lot of wrong guesses. I guess this one surprised me even more than Kent.

Three currents make the list, Murphy, Duda and Tejada, a testament of sorts to the Mets playoff drought.

The '77, '80, '81 and '82 squads each had five players from this list.

My next two guesses (should have come before Christopher) were Hunt and Hickman, but I had to do work.

You got the 16th and 17th players, Taveras and Christopher, respectively.

Was thinking of recent-vintage guys, and after Murph and Duda, well... he's just been around a lot longer than you realize.

That art nouveau card of Tejada is a home run, also.

That's a modern take on the original Allen & Ginter cards.
