Typewriter Chewing Gum, covering the Citi Field era Mets, celebrates every Citi Field Met player to have worn uniform #23. Because it's 2023.

That's a good Peterson shot.

Combined Met sWAR (s as in spiritual) for the spotlighted 23s: neither here nor there, but mostly not here even when they were, as if giving them 23 was somebody's way of telling them, “you're OK, but so are many.”

This is a pretty lackluster group of Mets.

There are better 23s — Gilkey, Mahomes ... Christopher — but they pre-date the Typewriter era.

Digging the classic Bowtie set

This is a great idea!

My favorite is the Mike Baxter Wonderbread card

Thanks. You like this so much, so pick a number. Any number and maybe, I'll do it again for the number you pick. But it won't be too much fun if you pick a number like five. Or 24. Or (groan!) eight.

44

44 Here ya go! Excellent choice on the 44. A coupl'a pre Citi Field 44's made their way into this years Rock and Roll set. And too bad Darryl Strawberry never wore 44 for the Mets. He was made for 44. He was the archetype for 44. A menacing longball hiter with a lethal swing. But it wasn't to be and besides, Ron Darling, some other not too shabby prospect had the number by the time Straw was called up. This post is now bringing up some bad memories of losing a Batman set Al Schmelz card to a computer crash right around when the Covid lockdowns first went into effect. I loved that Schmelz card. Maybe now I'll get around to seeing if I can that Schmelzie back.

Aha, looking for Jay Payton but there's a couple I can't see… Awesome job!
