Name That Mets Pitcher

Here's hoping things pick up a bit in Metsland.

P.S. If you use Google Images you're a Cheaty McStinkypants and everyone will know it and call you that from now on.

Uniform

The uni looks too recent to be AY.

I think he's right

The windup and the frame look like AY but I don’t think the Mets wore black caps until way after Young was a Met.

Yeah

The all-white uniform didn’t come along until ‘97 (remember the ice cream man hats?) and the black hats didn’t until ’98.

'Oh yes, I know all about that duty-of-a-citizen stuff. It doesn't go. There are exceptions to every rule, and this was one of them. When a man risks his liberty to come and root at a ball-game, you've got to hand it to him. He isn't a crook. He's a fan.'

Jorge Sosa?

Sosa always wore a tan glove, that I remember.

But I like the Mel Rojas guess by Potter.

by TBlz on Jan 19, 2009 4:13 PM EST up reply actions

Wasn’t Rojas a little rounder around the mid-section?

by tm on Jan 19, 2009 4:19 PM EST up reply actions

That's a consideration

I’m just guessing that’s some kind camera work.

It does look like there’s a “1” on the front of his jersey, though. Could be 51; 31 and 41 are definitely out and I can’t remember any pitchers wearing 11 or 21 recently.

HELLO HELLO MR WILPON. WE WANT THE MANSION NOT THE CONDO.

Was gonna guess AY

The 2008 NY Mets: Pedro hurt already. Delgado still sucks. Mets still can't beat the Braves. Beltran only plays 6 innings. WTF with Pelfrey?? Mets win 60 in a row. Freakin' Wagner. PLAYOFFS, NO WAY?!
