You weren't wondering, but when the Mets fielded a starting lineup the other night that included an 11 (Tejada), a 22 (Plawecki), a 33 (Harvey) and a 44 (Mayberry), it was only the 16th time in their history they had done so -- and the first time in 22 years.

Written on 6/6 (as observed by D-Dad).

Too bad this didn't happen when Turk Wendell was a Met.

The 2003 Mets almost fielded a lineup with a 00, an 11, a 33, and a 44.

Tony Clark, however, ruined the fun by shedding his 00 two days before in deference to Mr. Met. (Mister is always in the lineup, though, isn't he?) And Art Howe ruined the fun by not starting 22 (Al Leiter) in addition to Mike Bacsik.

And Jay Bell ruined the fun, because that's what he did in 2003.
