5/19/1979. First inning.

d'Kong76 May 16 2015 07:17 AM Re: Date this.

No idea of the date, but that's one Monstrously Huge Batboy!

Ashie62 May 16 2015 08:50 AM Re: Date this.

I believe I see Kooz peeking out from the left of the dugout.

Frayed Knot May 16 2015 09:24 AM Re: Date this.

And I think that's Tim 'Crazy Horse' Foli on the far right.

batmagadanleadoff May 16 2015 09:30 AM Re: Date this.

Yes to Crazy Horse and Kooz. But if 1979 was depicted in that photo, there'd be a last name on the back of the Mets jersey.

Ashie62 May 16 2015 09:42 AM Re: Date this.

No disrespect but that ain't 5/19/79 #50 in the dugout is not Andy Hassler. Next.

Ashie62 May 16 2015 09:50 AM Re: Date this.

Lenny Randle scoring? Bob Boone catching?

Frayed Knot May 16 2015 10:18 AM Re: Date this.

[crossout:vx1gvwge]4/17/78[/crossout:vx1gvwge] No, that's not right either.

Lefty Specialist May 16 2015 10:42 AM Re: Date this.

Looks like Ted Simmons catching for the Cardinals.

Frayed Knot May 16 2015 11:42 AM Re: Date this.

8/13/78 4th inning. Randle is on 2nd following a leadoff walk + SB tries to come home on a Bobby Valentine single but is thrown out by RF Jerry Mumphrey. And, yes, that's Ted Simmons. Coincidentally, the top of that very same inning ended when StL 1B Keith Hernandez was thrown out at home on a single to RF by Joel Youngblood. http://www.ultimatemets.com/gamedetail. ... 24&tabno=D

Edgy MD May 16 2015 12:36 PM Re: Date this.

I looked for Randle scoring against the Cardinals in a day game at home. Couldn't find any such occurrences, so I lied to myself and convinced myself that it was Taveras, even thought he was lighter skinned than Randle and usually wore a beard. It didn't occur to me to look for Randle getting thrown out, as Simmons doesn't seem to have received the ball yet.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 16 2015 06:22 PM Re: Date this.

82 too early for those ugmo Pads unis too

Now see I was guessing that to be Garry Templeton.

Next....

Edgy MD May 17 2015 12:23 PM Re: Date this.

I was thinking that Jerry Mumphrey, locking me into 1980, his only year on the Padres. Gene Richards, I forgot existed, if I ever knew. [fimg=250]http://www.morthas.com/cards/370_83F_Richards.jpg[/fimg]

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 17 2015 05:26 PM Re: Date this.

Is that Randle again? Looks like Lenny.

Edgy MD May 17 2015 06:32 PM Re: Date this.

May 22, 1981

batmagadanleadoff May 17 2015 09:28 PM Re: Date this.

Next.... Hint: The Mets wore that style road uniform from '74 to '77. It's a road uniform because there are no pinstripes and the tone on Keith's uni inidicates white -- not powder blue. The only Mets infielders to wear #11 during that period were Wayne Garrett and Lenny Randle, and it ain't Wayne because the tone on the infielder's skin ain't no powder blue if you know what I mean. If it's Lenny, it's got to be 1977. Lenny was a two year Met, and in 1978, Lenny's second and last Met season, the Mets introduced their two button jerseys with sleeve piping, which that jersey ain't got. So it's a 1977 road game at St. Louis. You could tell it's a road game by the outfield wall in the background, also.

This is a fun thread; I don't have the time to do research on this one because I'm running out to a meeting, but I love it.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 18 2015 07:19 AM Re: Date this.

I like this thread too but it's not really a guessing game, it's a looking-it-up game and so whenever I see a guess submitted I figure it's game over and don't play.

Zvon May 22 2015 10:51 PM Re: Date this.

I gave away my black jersey tonight. My sister in law said she always wanted one so I gave it to her. She'll wear it more than I ever would. Cap wore out long ago. So I have expunged myself of that gear once and for all.
