Howard Johnson and a Dwight Gooden homer are correct. Well done! When I did some research to verify whether HoJo was still accurate, I found that David Wright hit just one extra inning home run in his entire career. Crazy. A couple new questions have been added.

3 must be Mackey Sasser

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

4 is Clint Hurdle

[Edgy MD]

#2 is 1970.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

5 ty wigginton

[Edgy MD]

#1 is 1968 against the Philadelphia Phillies.

[Cowtipper]

Mackey Sasser, Clint Hurdle, 1970 and Ty Wiggington are correct. However, in addition to Wigginton, there was another player, as well. He might or might not have been an effective reliever. #1 wasn't 1968, but you're close, however the Phillies guess is correct. Some new questions have been added.

#1 SIXTY-NINE DUDES!

[Cowtipper]

It was 1969, well done. Imagine, if you will, the first three pitchers in that year's rotation. Then you'll likely have a good idea who the pitchers involved in the feat were.

[Edgy MD]

2003 Mets still active in 2010 has to include Aaron Heilman.

[Cowtipper]

Heilman was still active, but he wasn't on the June 10, 2003 roster. It was another reliever, a bit more perpetually effective.

[Edgy MD]

That would be Perpetual Pedro Feliciano.

How many answers are you looking for for #3?
