Odd Mets Poster

I came across this odd Mets poster on the web of a purported all-time Mets team:

Ray Knight and Lenny Dykstra are among the all-time Mets featured on the poster. I might get that if the poster was from maybe 1989 but the short-haired Jacob deGrom is on the poster so the poster can't be older than 2018

Tom Glavine is also listed in the pitching also rans, as well as “Bill” Wagner.



deGrom also has the Nike swoosh on the uni, so I'm guessing last year to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the franchise.



My guess is this is from a website/blog/social

media group than a legit Met/MLB thing.

I've known a lot of odd Met posters.

Or at least have read some of their stuff.

Re: Odd Mets Poster

But do any of them come across their odd Mets posters?

Re: Odd Mets Poster

Going back 20 years ago, a lot of all-time Met teams included Dykstra in the outfield. Even then, it seemed absurd to list him ahead of McReynolds and/or Jones.



Knowing that somebody out there in the last year or so is putting Dykstra ahead of Beltran is unsettling. I want to lock my doors.



But yeah, this like has about as much official sanction as my stupid Jets polls.



Which reminds me, I need to put up another stupid Jets poll.

From the title, I thought the thread was about me.
