NO LOOKING IT UP. 1 guess at at a time, ABSOLUTELY no double dipping. PRECISE picks: proper name in proper place = 10 points On the board picks: right name, wrong rank = 5 points Off the Board picks = 5 point penalty Pick a right handed batter or pitcher = 50 point penalty I want the name and rank, via CPF Ranking Project totals thru 2019 if I got it right since I can't find a comprehensive list, of the Top 15 lefthanded pitchers and the lefthanded batters in Mets history. SWITCH HITTERS DO NOT COUNT, PITCHERS DO NOT COUNT IN BATTER RANKS. Ready? Go Top 15 Southpaw Pitchers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Top 15 Lefty Batters (excluding pitchers and switch hitters) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

I'll take Staub for the #4 hit spot.

I was going to guess Staub at 2. Instead I'll go with John Olerud at 12.

Tug McGraw at #5.

Whoever gets the last pitcher and last hitter automatically gets 10 points for those picks. Plus a high chance of scoring 10 as the remaining picks dwindle.

Yeah, we need to know what's been guessed wrongly. Number nine lefthanded batter is Wayne Garrett.

Randy Myers as the #12 pitcher

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 14 2020 08:51 AM Re: Happy Lefthanders Day Kwiz

Cook was knocked out of the top 15 last year by Matz! He's now #16. I'm giving you 3 points for that. Myers #12 is a Direct Hit!

Johnny Lunchbucket Aug 14 2020 08:54 AM Re: Happy Lefthanders Day Kwiz

1 hitter and 1 pitcher left: **@@-->>SPECIAL BONUS ROUND<<--@@**: Guess both guys in the same post for a special 25-point bonus!! Clue: they were on the same Mets team for 1 season!!

MFS62 Aug 14 2020 09:37 AM Re: Happy Lefthanders Day Kwiz

Although I think they were teammates for more than one year, I'll swing from the heels: Glendon Rusch and Timo Perez. Later

Billy Wagner? smart strategy if you're already in the money, like betting just enough to beat the loser guy by $1 in Final Jeopardy We're looking for 1 more lefthanded batter. He was once a Mets teammate of Wagner

Edgy MD Aug 14 2020 11:33 AM Re: Happy Lefthanders Day Kwiz

Then our number 14 hitter has to be Cliff "Everyday I Wrap the Foot" Floyd.

Floyd #14 if its Wags' teammate.
