Mets, but fat Mets

Vogelbach. Now your turn. If we get enough, then it's a separate thread: Mets Battle Royale

Fman99 Jul 24 2022 06:07 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

Late career Mo Vaughn was pleasantly plump

G-Fafif Jul 24 2022 06:09 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

They're big-boned. Ramon Castro.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 24 2022 06:20 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

Sid Fernandez, natch.

G-Fafif Jul 24 2022 06:20 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

Brooks Pounders was kind of full-figured, though with a name like Brooks Pounders, how could he not be?

Frayed Knot Jul 24 2022 06:21 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

Jack Fisher. Not hugely fat but the round face enhanced the look.

Lefty Specialist Jul 24 2022 06:26 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

Mickey Lolich didn't miss too many meals.

G-Fafif Jul 24 2022 06:26 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

Athletic as hell, but not conventionally fit Bartolo Colon.

G-Fafif Jul 24 2022 06:32 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

Second-term Bobby Bo (also describes the lot of good he did us).

Chad ochoseis Jul 24 2022 06:35 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

Backup catchers are a bit pudgy almost by definition, but I remember Rod Barajas as being gutsier than most.

Lefty Specialist Jul 24 2022 06:38 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

Late-era Rusty Staub was fairly large.

Edgy MD Jul 24 2022 06:40 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

Butch Huskey could sadly not fully escape the curse of his name.

Gwreck Jul 24 2022 06:46 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

Tommy Hunter?

Livan Hernandez [FIMG=333]https://ca-times.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/6ee051f/2147483647/strip/true/crop/410x512+0+0/resize/840x1049!/format/webp/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F63%2Fe1%2F23ff6e655108261de454189def69%2Fsdut-new-york-mets-livan-hernandez-20160828-002[/FIMG]

Edgy MD Jul 24 2022 06:59 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

Yeah, I was totally cuing up Livan next. Instead I'll throw down the Juan Uribe card.

Marshmallowmilkshake Jul 24 2022 07:00 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

Wilson Ramos was nicknamed Buffalo for a reason.

Edgy MD Jul 24 2022 07:03 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

George Theodore was pretty slender considering all those marshmallow milkshakes he threw back.

Edgy MD Jul 24 2022 07:58 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

I can't think of anybody else. I'm just going pour myself some Hawaiian Punch.

Johnny Lunchbucket Jul 24 2022 08:03 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

Maybe not actually, but to me sorta looked like. Um heavyset? Skip Lockwood

Edgy MD Jul 24 2022 08:42 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

Duke Snider was kind of rocking a Fred Flintstone look in his Mets days.

batmagadanleadoff Jul 24 2022 08:47 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

I've seen enough of Volegbach tonight. He's the all-time Mets fat winner.

Frayed Knot Jul 24 2022 08:51 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

Benny Agbayani rarely described with the word 'svelte'.

roger_that Jul 25 2022 03:26 AM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

Just on nicknames, Fisher was known as "Fat Jack," and Hal Reniff was nicknamed "Porky." Th-th-th-that's all, folks.

ashie62 Jul 25 2022 08:16 AM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

Bartolo Colon.

Methead Jul 25 2022 08:58 AM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

=ashie62 post_id=100923 time=1658758619 user_id=90]Bartolo Colon.

More of him to love.

Edgy MD Jul 25 2022 09:18 AM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

Like the flanks of the Mets who appear in this thread, we're getting redundant.

Fman99 Jul 25 2022 09:21 AM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

Redundant Flanks would be a great name for a plus sized burlesque show of some kind.

A Boy Named Seo Jul 25 2022 10:14 AM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

Speaking of redundant flanks, I don't know if it'd be fair to call Heath Bell fat, but he definitely had a pair giant sequoias for legs which were probably required by nature to support his (beer) barrel chest.

Also, LOL.

smg58 Jul 25 2022 12:38 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

I would think that Mr. Colon deserves to be mentioned repeatedly in this thread. And I hope someday Mr. Vogelbach earns that distinction as well.

smg58 Jul 25 2022 12:40 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

So doesn't the UMDB rank Mets by body mass index?

G-Fafif Jul 25 2022 12:55 PM Re: Mets, but fat Mets

What about Bart?

Well... you just put an idea in my head.

Plus that giant ass to which they were attached I must add. Really I do think of Bell when I think or fat Mets, but it also reminds me that he was like an inner circle Hall of Famer in the "Mets, but With Gigantic Asses" thread, only I can't find that one.

ICYMI, this was today's trivia question from mlb.com: Q: Who was the first player to wear No. 42 in a Mets-Yankees Subway Series game (June 16, 1997)? A: Mets DH Butch Huskey Later
