Re: 🎶Kolt Ingram!🎶
I have a feeling that we're going to see a real churn of players this year.
Other than 1962, in which 45 players made their Mets debut, the most new Mets in a single season is 42, a record set in 2021.
I have a hunch that that record is going to be challenged this year.

Why not? That's the trend. The last three seasons are all in the top five of your list.Benjamin Grimm wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2024 2:59 pm I have a feeling that we're going to see a real churn of players this year.

Re: 🎶Kolt Ingram!🎶
Yeah, my suspicion is that recent seasons would dominate such a list with most teams.

Re: 🎶Kolt Ingram!🎶
I think so too. That's the way the game has been going. I look down the list of recent Mets and there are so many whose names are completely unfamiliar to me, although of course I know who they were (or at least that they existed) at the time they were playing. Some of this is a reflection on how many brain cells I devote to short-term Mets, but it's also because there are so many of them. I remember Dennis D'Agostino's book listing the players who only appeared in one Mets game, and there were only six examples. The book covered what is, by now, about the first third of Mets history. In the years since, there have been 28 additional one-game Mets. Who the hell is Nick Tropeano? The name doesn't seem even remotely familiar to me.

The only thing I remember about Mac Scarce is his full name was Guerrant McCurdy Scarce.

Re: 🎶Kolt Ingram!🎶
I know Nick Tropeano not just because he was a seven-year MLB vet (albeit much of that in the other league) when he came to New York, but also because he was a Long Islander and a Stony Brook alum, so Seawolf totally plotzed over him.

But he didn't stick around long enough for us to make endless jokes about how poorly educated he was.
