Just curious. How do you count a Tim Foli type who had two tours with us? Does he count once, or twice like Gover Cleveland?

Once.
Cleveland was part of a one at a time succession, Foli wasn't.

FWIW the 2007 Met media guide clocks the number at 797, yet they list all the names listed in Yancy's ATR page (which is used here!

Not sure how that happened, maybe they need a good copy editior!

Also, can't recall the name, or the year, there was one name that somehow got into the roster list and was removed the following year, I'll have to comb the books for it. I believe it was very early 1990's.

You know, I wish I had an interesting story to tell about that but I don't. I seem to remember very early on comparing lists with the future Johnny Dickshot. I might have had a few players for his list and he may have had a couple for mine, but we cross checked each other in the first month or two of both of our sites being live.

The list of players has been complete pretty much from the very beginning.

JD's site has someone complaining that two Mets (Les Rohr and More Roar, I think) had been omitted from the headcount, though it's a bit unclear as to when that was corrected, etc. JD or Yancy, care to comment? I don't get what this guy was complaining about or if he had a valid complaint, how and when it got cleared up.

I'm not aware of the Les Rohr controversy.

I used to get a lot of e-mails saying stuff like,"Why isn't my neighbor in your database? He told me he played for the Mets in 1974."

The link I put on the roster page seems to have put a halt to those kinds of questions. I wonder now how many of those inquiries might have been for people who are now in the database as minor leaguers.

Twice now in the last few years my nephew's Little League coach has told the parents that he was a former major league player - which prompts my sister to e-mail her baseball-savvy brothers wondering if they remember him. Except that both times the guy has failed both our memories and the Baseball-Reference test. We did dig up some minor league history and draft status on the last guy and it is possible that what he claimed was being in the StL Cardinal or Tex Ranger system not necc their MLB club and it was mis-understood. Either that or he's trying too hard to impress suburban moms figuring that no one will call him on it, who knows?

SteveJRogers
May 06 2007 09:08 AM

One of my Dad's friends had his son (elementary school age) in a baseball instruction thing where the guy claimed to be a former Met and the father kept asking me if I heard of the guy, for some reason he never quite got the actual name; He thought it was some son of a famous ballplayer and for some reason either Roberto Clemente Jr or Eduardo Perez kept going in his mind.

Well they never did find out exactly what the story was, (i.e what EXACTLY was his name so I could have said "Ahh, Norfolk Tides 1995-1996" or something) and for that the kid thinks the guy was a flat out lier rather than a guy just trying to buff up his resume to get more customers for his instructional camp thing.

Never ceases to amaze me how readily humans will lie when they foolishly believe they cant get caught.

I mean, we've got incredibly precise and exhaustive records going back well over a century, with researchers looking into this stuff with increasing scrutiny to bolster our already-exhaustive knowledge, and these bozos are making up shit that won't withstand a casual glance. It's like I told you guys that I was President of the U.S. between Carter and Reagan and confidently thinkng "Who the hell will check it out?--probably, there's no definitive record, anyway. Ha, ha."

Talk about your resume-padding! "I once fantasized that I was a MLB player" = "I was a MLB player."

There was a 'Monty Python' skit which was a game-show parody called 'Stake Your Claim'. In it the contestant had to stake his claim to something and see if it would stand up to scrutiny.
So the first guy's claim is that he was the one to have actually written all of Shakespeare's works:
"that's right, and me wife wrote all the sonnets"

Emcee: "First question: How old are you Mr. Smith"
Smith: "Forty-Three"
Emcee: "Well these works are known to have been performed in the 17th century over three-hundred years before your birth, how could you have possibly done them then?"
Smith: "Well ... that's where my claim falls to the ground. Y'see I was hoping you wouldn't bring up that particular point but now I can see you're more than a match for me"
Emcee: "Our next contestant ... "
Smith: "I was right"

Dick Shot Junior and I have watched a few eps of Sesame Street and I must say, it's gone completely to hell since I was crapping my pampers.

OK, this started a whole discussion here in the newsroom, which is what happens when the editors go into the news meeting.

Were Ernie and Bert adults? Were they kids? Brothers? If so, where were their parents? Could it be that they were just a couple metrosexual kids living in an apartment (with monogramed beds) without jobs but enough resources to collect paperclips and rubber ducks and slurp soda at Mr. Hooper's store?

Oscar, we understand.

seawolf17
Sep 06 2007 09:19 AM

We've definitely rediscovered Sesame Street, and we have come to love Elmo as practically a member of the family. There's really a phenomenal amount of research that's gone into the character development (Elmo's three years old, Grover is six, Prairie Dawn is a precocious four-year-old, Baby Bear's lisp, etc.) and relationships (Telly & Baby Bear, Elmo & Zoe, Bert & Ernie, Baby Bear & Curly Bear, Elmo & Grover, etc.). You could do a fascinating PhD thesis on the whole structure; hell, you could write a whole encyclopedia, considering the show's history.

They've structured the show a lot more now than they did when I was a kid; there's a pretty standard sequence of events (opening thematic skit, letter of the day, number of the day, Elmo's World, Trash Gordon), with bits and pieces scattered around. Even Elmo's World follows a very tight script (song, topic intro, musical topic interlude, Mr. Noodle, ask kids, ask a baby, counting, looking in the drawer, one kid's story, talking with a representative of the topic, Dorothy imagining Elmo doing something with the topic, ending song), most likely because kids thrive on routines. The first eight notes of the Elmo's World theme song are practically a national holiday in our house; all other activity immediately ceases. MiniWolf's not at a point yet where he demands his daily Elmo, but I'd bet that if he was older, he'd be confused if it didn't happen.

FWIW, Sesame Street released a three-DVD "Old School" set recently, which is good for a laugh if you can find it at your local library. I don't know that I'd spend money on it, mostly because some of the characters are waaaay different than they are now (different Gordon, Oscar is orange, Big Bird's head is smaller), but also because the stories are dated (the whole story of the first episode is very timely for 1969, but would never happen today), and because, quite frankly, I have better things to do with my time than watch 35-year-old episodes of Sesame Street.

Willets Point

seawolf17

Give him a chance, JD. I know he's irritating, and he's been so overexposed in the media, but the kids really do dig him.

Barney? Whole 'nother story. He's on right before SS in the morning, and my wife turns it on. THAT drives me nuts.

Willets, they still do trippy stuff, but that specific bit doesn't run any more. Every once in a while, they'll slip in something old school, like the Alligator King and his Seven Sons, if it dovetails with what they're talking about that episode.

I confess that when my son was a toddler, we'd watch Sesame Street whether he wanted to or not just because of Gina!

I assume she was an attempt to pull dads into the show, or at least get dads to leave it on.

Benjamin Grimm
Sep 06 2007 12:48 PM

Have any of you dads discovered The Big Comfy Couch yet? (It may no longer be on; my kids are both now too old for those beginner shows.)

It was a weird show featuring a girl named Lanette dressed in a clown suit. At the end of the show, for some reason, she'd lie on her back on the floor and we'd watch from above as she writhed around assuming various clock positions. It was actually kind of disturbing. I never payed close enough attention to the show to understand what that was all about.

Benjamin Grimm
Mar 31 2008 11:19 AM

We had agreed on it being the lineup order, which, to me, makes the most sense.

Remember, a player is officially in the game when the PA guy says his name. I know this is only really applicable for pinch-hitters and, I guess, pinch-runners, but it makes more sense than waiting for someone to touch a ball in the field. They're in the game whether the ball is hit to them or not.

Sure. Why not? While they may not get credit for a game played if they throw a rod in the dugout, it's not like they can re-enter the game if they've been introduced but don't appear.

But here's my thought. Scott Erickson hurt himself during warmups in game two, 2004. I don't know if the lineups had been read yet, but, if they had, and Erickson never rehabiltated (some might say he never did), and never returned to the team, would he be part of the great list o' Mets?

Not in my great list. I don;t think he was announced, by the way.

Let's just assume that becoming official is a two-step process: Getting announced and participating in the game, but all participants enter into the sacred scrolls in the order they were announced.
