Mets Postseason Trivia Quiz (Final game as a Met)

Benjamin Grimm
Oct 03 2015 12:04 PM

There are 29 players whose last game as a Met was a postseason game. No need to take turns; make as many guesses as you like. When we get to a point where we start to need clues I'll start to break it down by year.

Some of the names are very prominent. Others, not so much.

Cliff Floyd. A personal favorite of mine during his time with the Mets, Floyd's injury during the playoffs really hurt the team in the NLCS against the Cardinals.

Jim McAndrew

I'm guessing the other '69ner is either Koonce, or Martin.

Aww crap, 2006 guy, Michael Tucker I think? Guy's lone met card is a Topps 2007 Postseason highlight card.

1988...Bob McClure?

Cliff Floyd: Yes.
Michael Tucker: Yes! (I thought he'd be the last to be guessed. I have almost no memory at all of Michael Tucker.)

Bob McClure and Jim McAndrew, no.

J.C. Martin: Yes. That closes out 1969.

Ed Charles, J.C. Martin.

It's a little interesting how the numbers are consistently higher in recent years. Is there more turnover now than there was in the 70's and 80's? Or are rental players more common? Or is this just coincidence. This year the list is likely to be on the long side, although it may fall short of seven. I'm thinking Murphy, Cespedes, Colon, Johnson, and Clippard are the best bets. Uribe too, if he plays.

Re: Mets Postseason Trivia Quiz (Final game as a Met)

Mets with a durn good chance to join this list this year: Bartolo Colon, Tyler Clippard, Kelly Johnson, Daniel Murphy, Juan Uribe, Yoenis Cespedes. Bobby Parnell has a chance to, also. Obviously, everybody does.
