Spring Training Trivia Kwiz

Johnny Lunchbucket Feb 17 2020 06:10 AM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Feb 17 2020 06:24 AM

Spring training stats don't count, but they do in this special quiz. Name the 20 Mets with the most appearances in spring training games of all time -- (1962-2019) One guess per response, no double dips, bonus if you correctly place the Met game-leader in his proper slot. Extra credit/hint: The top 20 are all position players. Name the top pitcher in appearances as well. Go.

Todd Hundley. Later

Benjamin Grimm Feb 17 2020 01:36 PM Re: Spring Training Trivia Kwiz

I'll guess Jesse Orosco as the pitcher.

Edgy MD Feb 17 2020 02:09 PM Re: Spring Training Trivia Kwiz

Well, I didn't realize the last line of the initial post said no pitchers were in the top 20, but I'll guess Franco is the top serving pitcher.

Keith didn't get out of bed until two weeks after the games started. But I'm guessing my Backmanian answer failed as well.

Piazza?

Ken Boswell, 18

Not Davis (87) or Boswell (109). Clue: 2 of them were 2019 Mets, 2 weren't

I imagine Conforto could be the other 2019 guy?

Benjamin Grimm Feb 18 2020 09:24 AM Re: Spring Training Trivia Kwiz

Wally Backman makes me think of Ron Gardenhire. 18?

Johnny Lunchbucket Feb 18 2020 10:08 AM Re: Spring Training Trivia Kwiz

Mot Gardenhire or Conforto

HahnSolo Feb 18 2020 10:34 AM Re: Spring Training Trivia Kwiz

Ruben Tejada was briefly a 2019 Met.

Chad ochoseis Feb 18 2020 10:43 AM Re: Spring Training Trivia Kwiz

Ty Wigginton was around a deceptively long time. 18th?

Guessing Travis Dar-No for the other 2019 guy.

I'll take Kevin McReynolds for the block at the 18 hole.

Benjamin Grimm Feb 18 2020 12:22 PM Re: Spring Training Trivia Kwiz

VANCE WILSON!?!?!?

Edgy MD Feb 18 2020 12:24 PM Re: Spring Training Trivia Kwiz

I wouldn't have guessed him, but the guy was getting invites to camp well before he debuted. And he debuted well before he stuck.

Johnny Lunchbucket Feb 18 2020 03:33 PM Re: Spring Training Trivia Kwiz

Backup catchers get lots of ST action. Hodges was a good guess for that reason (plus his longevity). It is funny that Wilson backed up Piazza and got more ST PT. By the way, I won't make this a quiz but the pitchers with most spring game appearances: Franco 107 Feliciano 71 Koosman 67 Parnell 66 Familia 64 McGraw 61 Gooden 56 Seaver 56 Sisk 50 Swan 50 I think it's possible we play too many ST games these days

Orosco tied with Familia at 64
