Perhaps, but a tighter link than even that. You can add Donne Wall too.

They all have four letter last names, each with one vowel and three consonants. (i know that don't count, but it's fact)

Directions in which you can take a piss?

I try not to pee on my hands anymore. Why? What have you heard?

Old joke, about a Yale man washing up after using the urinal, and the sneering Harvard guy not washing up "Because at Harvard we're instructed how not to piss on our hands." I thought everybody had heard that one.

I thought everybody had heard that one. I've heard that as an Army guy saying that to a Marine. Any answer to the original question? They all had the same (pitching) coach? Later

Rusty Staub is an honorary member of this club.

roger_that Sep 05 2021 03:28 PM Re: What's the Link?

Well, "staub" is german for "dust" but that doesn't really help, does it?

Last names that are also English words?

Edgy MD Sep 05 2021 05:51 PM Re: What's the Link?

Both of ye's are thinking in the right direction.

Edgy MD Sep 05 2021 07:21 PM Re: What's the Link?

I actually put together a big quiz with dozens of answers. When I realized that, if folks played it honestly, it would take six weeks to get all the answers, I decided to shelve it until the offseason and put up a quiz that would end quickly. Turns out that this is a stumper after all.

Edgy MD Sep 06 2021 08:44 AM Re: What's the Link?

Hint: Rusty would officially qualify if his nickname were his actual name.

kcmets Sep 06 2021 09:20 AM Re: What's the Link?

Yesterday I was gonna guess they're all married to former roundheels but putting Rusty in the mix blows that as he never married.

Le Grande Orange, which rhymes with.. uh, nothing...

Down, Hand, West, Wall, Orange.

Edgy MD Sep 06 2021 01:16 PM Re: What's the Link?

No, his hands are objectively small. And his hair his yellow. "Orange" more applies to his fleshtone. I appreciate the effort, though.

Frayed Knot Sep 06 2021 01:19 PM Re: What's the Link?

I'm giving you perfectly acceptable answers which are all being promptly rejected.

Each of these fine men have their names appear in the lyrics of a certain song.

Other acceptable answers are LANY's "Made in Hollywood " and Kendrick Lamar's "The Art of Peer Pressure ". This quiz would have worked much better if some Met had the last name of "Bustle" and another had the last name of "Hedgerow ".

I've been begging them to sign Joel Kiddies for years.

All it needed was Vida Blue to have been a Met for a while.

Edgy MD Sep 07 2021 03:13 PM Re: What's the Link?

Dusty Baker and Huston Street might have helped also.
