Here's a decent one. Which Met set a team record with 16 total bases in an Aug. 30, 1999 pounding of the Astros?

Edgardo Alfonzo?

Stuffing and turkey has not dulled your memory!

Edgardo had six hits in six at-bats, including three homers, in a 17-1 rout of the Astros.

I forget how damn good he was that season. It's a shame he fell apart.

I remember listening to that game on the radio as I was on the road that day. If I recall it right Fonzie was the first MLB player to go 6 for 6 with 3 HRs since Ty Cobb did it in a game.

One of my friends is convinced that Fonzie was one of the players using PEDs, saying that he fell apart far too quickly. He has no proof, mind you, just a suspicion.

I hope he's wrong. Also goes to show the shadow that will be over anyone from that era. Except Mike Piazza.

they're all drugged up. Clearly Ordonez was on something when he suddenly trippled his previous high in homeruns in 2001.

Is there a joke? How does Piazza escape scrutiny?

Blind fan loyalty! I can be in denial for my favorite players until proven otherwise!

How about that he was 5-7 years older than he said he was?

That could explain it.

I'm pretty confident that we'd have found that out by now.
