This one might be too hard. But let's give it a try. Here's how it works: I give you the opposing pitcher in the first at-bat and last at-bat of a mystery Met guy, and you tell me who that guy is. These ABs are of the guy's MET career, not his whole career, necessarily. As a general hint, all of the Mets are position players and members of the cpf top 100. I'll drop more hints as/if necessary. First Opposing Pitcher and Last Opposing Pitcher 1) Jeff Juden and Aaron Cook 2) Paul Toth and Bob Forsch 3) Steve Carlton and Tug McGraw 4) Bruce Ruffin and Mike Remlinger 5) Mario Soto and Kevin Gross 6) Alex Fernandez and Mike Thurman 7) Charlie Lea and Jeff Parrett 8) Chris Zachary and Tom House 9) Steve Carlton and George Frazier 10) Juaquin Andujar and Mike Smith 11) Bo McLaughlin and John Martin 12) Dock Ellis and Jeff Reardon 13) Juaquin Andujar and Kevin Gross 14) Steve Carlton and Jim Rooker 15) Joe Coleman and Jim Acker

Actually, I think Zachary came up in '63 or 64, so let me change my guess to Ed K= #2. 8 is still up for grabs.

I'll guess Rusty Staub for #12..I'm pretty sure his final AB was against Reardon (not sure about the first part).

If Greg is answering all of these through either memory or deduction I'm both impressed ... and frightened.

Greg is acing this Kwiz: 3. Kingman all correct. HoJo and Carter shared the same debut date. Mazzilli's first opposing pitcher was tecnically Coleman. I believe his first appearance was being announced, then PHed for after a pitching change a day before.

Hold my calls...14 is going to take a while to deduce.
|
| Johnny Dickshot Apr 26 2007 10:01 AM |

14 was actually a memorable or noteworthy final game for this particular player.

14. Felix Millan

Wham.

I was going to say Felix Millan, but that dog won't hunt. Curse you Steve Carlton and your super-long multi-decade two-NL-team career.
|
| G-Fafif Apr 26 2007 10:17 AM |
|
Sure it will. First game of doubleheader 8/12/77, pitched by Rooker, last at-bat. In second game he comes in for defense, gets flattened by Ed Ott, leaves never to return, except to Taiyo Whales.

Great quiz, JD.
|
| Edgy DC Apr 26 2007 10:19 AM |
|
Oh, man, I had him first, but I stupidly checked and didn't see Rooker in his last game. Fuck me, world.

Confirming... 2. Ed Kranepool ?
|
| Johnny Dickshot Apr 26 2007 10:30 AM |
|
Both correct. I think that wipes this one clean. It surprised me some but all 3 appearances of Carlton as debut opponent were different years. The cross-clue there, such as it was, was Opening Day.

Opening Day Status + Remembering Which Years We Opened vs Phillies + Remembering Who Was Big Acquisition Those Years = Helped A Lot
