Coming in second for somebody's opinion of who should be MVP in 1995. That's all pretty Piazza-fied. I bet Norristown, PA, had some kickass gardeners back in the day.

Incorrect, however. Our subject, though, was again a Met, but not most famously.

Not Shef.

I got the idea that, growing up with Dwight's family, Gary didn't have much contact with his Dad.

The guy we're looking for — that dog attack was sadly not his last trip to the emergency room.

Not Olerud, then?

Not John Olerud.

Another indication of his toughness was that he was a rare modern player who didn't use batting gloves.

The no batting gloves, former Met, who was better known and famous with another team sounds like my childhood hero/idol, Willie Mays.

That sounds like Bobby Bonilla.

MOISÉS ROJAS-ALOU BELTRÉ IS OUR GUY!

Don't kid yourself. Moisés was as tough as they come.

Here's a rocking 1987 Topps card, offering you the kind of intelligence on a player that can make all the difference.
________ was the co-winner of a rib-eating contest among professional athletes after 1985 season.
It looks like there was enough room to fit the word "the" before 1985. They just left it out. Either that, or _______ ate it.
