Know Your Hef

This kwiz celebrates the dramatic career of Jeremy Hefner, called up to fill a whole in the Mets rotation, and inexplicably holding it down even as more exciting prospects matured. Jeremy didn't give up until his arm did. And neither should YOU give up as you answer these 10 questions.

#53. It was in his Twitter handle.

For #10 I'm going out on a limb with "large breasted stripper."

[list=1][*]Jeremy Hefner was originally drafted by the Mets in Round 46 in 2004, but opted not to sign. They kept their dossier on him, though, and drafted him again in the 48th round in 2005. But he was coy with his suitors and again signed not. That must've been one hot dossier, though, as the Mets finally acquired him in 2011—the old reports perhaps still relevant from their perspective—when they claimed him on waivers. What team did they claim him from?

And she likes Jeremy, bub.

Why are we doing this? Did something happen to Hefner? Or just because?

I'm thinking that 7 is the 409, a sandwich whose sales benefitted tornado victims in Hefner's native Oklahoma town.

Sarah is a fitness instructor, a mom, and loves Jesus.

Following two Tommy John surgeries and a torn rotator cuff, Hef has announced his retirement.

Sorry, I shouldn't have posted this yesterday, as today is a writing day for me.
Three points! I'd have thrown you an extra if you gave me her middle name "Grace"!
You're thinking accurately. Jeremy's heart was with the citizens of Moore, OK, where a massive tornado tore through town and took over two dozen citizens' lives with it. Good on you, Hef! And good on you, TheMetFairy!

I thought #5 was the easiest and most obvious question/answer. I can't believe it's still on the board.

I have no memory of Hef homering in his 1st Mets start. The date Edgy gave was actually the day after Hef's game. We lost that one to Philly despite the unusualness of Doodoo hitting 2 home runs -- both off lefties (Cliff Lee & Raul Valdes)

| batmagadanleadoff Jan 20 2017 08:52 PM Re: Know Your Hef |

Yeah, I ignored the wrong date. I had no idea what the date was. But I just knew that Hef homered in that game. After I saw that youtube video, I realized that I remembered Hef's HR pretty much just the way it happened -- that shot to left at Citi Field.

4. Hefner made his first start Mets against the team he originally (and finally) signed with back in 2007. Who were they?

| John Cougar Lunchbucket Jan 20 2017 09:08 PM Re: Know Your Hef |

I guess that means the Pods are the answer to question 1

Sorry about the date, folks. I don't know if the error was in my source or my transcription. Ultimately, does it really matter?
Gee, he did not! Remember the hinty there.
Good thinking, as Harv was a 2012 debutante, but we're looking for a less prolific Met.
KABOOM! Like the Mets after a Hefner blast, you're on a the board!
Good use of available video! IT'S NOT CHEATING IF IT'S IN YOUR FACE!
I don't blame you for this answer, because effectively asking the same question twice is EXACTLY the kind of doofus move I'd make! But I didn't! He was with another team by this point!

DJ Longstockings is INCORRECT!
