Delgado is a a walk-off triple and double from the walk-off cycle,has any player ever done that in a season? Trivia - Only 3 Mets have had a walk-off walk and a walk-off home run in the same season: Delgado is one,name the other two.

Wild guesses here: Gary Carter and Mike Piazza.

Not Mets of recent vintage. One's baseballreference page is sponsored by the Crane Pool Forum,he was once traded to Baltimore by the Mets. The other one was born in Baltimore.

Bobby Bo sounded right to me too, now that I read the thread. I mean, if it's not one of the half-dozen players we traded for Mike Bordick.

Bobby Bo is not sponsored by CPF...my trivia player is.

Yes,well played lads,I would like to plug this blog for the inspiration,pretty cool site with useful information. http://metswalkoffs.blogspot.com/ Some nice memories here of Hobie... http://www.ultimatemets.com/profile.php?PlayerCode=0001&tabno=7 How can we check if that Hobie walk-off is true,he had only one HR as a Met.

This is the game http://ultimatemets.com/gamedetail.php?gameno=23 from the memories section ] Bob P May 13, 2006 Warren Spahn took a 2-1 lead to the bottom of the ninth at the Polo Grounds. Gil Hodges led off with an infield single. After retiring the next two batters, Spahn only had to retire Hobie Landrith, a lefty hitter to come away with the complete game win. But Landrith hit his first and only home run as a Met and New York took game one of the doubleheader, 3-2. It was the first one- run victory for the Mets and the sixth win overall in their short history.

There were only three games where Hobie had both a walk and an RBI: Search Results - Batting Date Team Lineup Pos Pos AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB IBB SO SB CS SF SH HBP BOX 05/06/62 vs. Phillies 8 c 2 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 BOX 05/15/62 vs. Cubs -- ph 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 BOX 05/25/62 vs. Dodgers 8 c 4 0 2 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 http://ultimatemets.com/profile.php?tabno=4&PlayerCode=0001 The May 15 game is the only one of the three played at the Polo Grounds, so that must be the walk-off walk.
