30 Since No. 5
G-Fafif May 18 2016 08:21 AM |
A hobby horse rides again. With Matt Reynolds's major league debut coming where Terry Collins probably least expected it (at least in terms of plausible possibilities), the Mets have now ushered 30 third basemen into their not-so-exclusive Hot Corner Club since David Wright became No. 129 and the veritable/symbolic revolving-doorstop on July 21, 2004. Reynolds is 3B No. 159 overall.

All the third dudes...carry the news...that we're up to 31 since No. 5 debuted and 160 overall after the ascendance of Ty Kelly last night.

Cool! So the goal for the mets should be to get an I and a U at least!

G-Fafif May 25 2016 06:45 PM Re: 30 Since No. 5 |
Juan Uribe just called and reminded me he played 3B, so now we're down to just I and X.

Ha! Just stopped by to tell you he called me too :)

Third base solidifies its position as the fourth most populous non-pitching Mets position, tops among all infield spots.

His dad was a baseball correspondent, and the community of baseball writers knew him growing up and openly rooted for him.

The 35th third baseman to follow David Wright is in there today.

G-Fafif Aug 17 2017 05:10 AM Re: 30 Since No. 5 |
The 36th third baseman to follow David Wright was in there last night. And out of there. And in there again. And so on. And so on.

So, 79 third basemen in the first 24 years, 86 in the next 31+. The curse lives!

We are on our 37th Mets 3B debut since young Wright broke in on July 21, 2004.

Mickey Callaway slipped Luis Guillorme into history in the bottom of the ninth inning Friday night when he sent the young man out to become the 39th Mets 3B debut since rookie Wright broke in on July 21, 2004. As the 168th Mets third baseman overall, Guillorme is the 89th Met on third since the debut of the immortal song "79 Mets on Third" in 1986.

It would appear that Justin Turner in 2010 was the one that the Mets let get away. It woud have been nice to have him in a Mets uni the past few years.

MFS62 May 12 2018 11:49 PM Re: 30 Since No. 5 |
I can't wait for the return of # 162. The offense needs the kind of jump start I think he could provide.

On the 30th anniversary of No. 41 being retired, our 41st third baseman since No. 5 came along.

Edgy MD Jul 25 2018 12:25 PM Re: 30 Since No. 5 |
Funny how many catchers have snuck in there in the 21st Century: Eli Marrero, Vinny Rottino, Anthony Recker, and Travis d'Arnaud.

G-Fafif Aug 16 2018 03:54 PM Re: 42 Since No. 5 |
Let us all wear 42 in honor Jack Reinheimer extending the list of third basemen to come along since the Pride of St. Lucie took up once-upon-a-time residence in Flushing.
