Know Your Mets quiz

In the Klassic Rawk Quiz thread we've been having fun with the real names of rockers. Well, not every Met has gone by his real first (or middle) name. Think "Salty" Parker. I give you "James Francis" and you tell me the last name and name that he went by. You'll know many of these instantly. Usual rules apply. Raymond Payne _________ Thomas Steven _________ Lawrence Peter _________ Clarence _______ Robert Allen ________ William Henry ______ Don Robert ________ Anulfo Acevedo __________ Elijah Jerry _________ Derrel McKinley _________ Claude Edward ___________ Joseph Clifton ________ Frank Edwin _______ Wilmer David _________ George Francis ________ Clarence Edward _________ Christopher John _________ Christopher Trotman _______ Joseph Jason _________ Alejandro ________ Thomas Javier _______ Daniel Joseph ________ Kerry Jerome ________ Steven John ________ William Hayward ________

Okay, I see it now. There's also still a Clarence Edward __________ on the list, however.

Choo Choo didn't list a middle name, and I thought you knew something my source did not. I forgot about the Clarence Edward down lower. Let's just say he looks nothing like a Clarence, and his arrival was overshadowed by some other arrivals and departures that day.

41Forever Sep 28 2017 06:16 PM Re: Know Your Mets quiz

Some hints: A backstop with a ring. A two-sport guy. A guy rescued from the MFYs. A guy I believe earned a ROY elsewhere. A guy who is not a ginger.

Don Robert DYER
