Great guess
It’s not Garcia, but a nice try nonetheless.

I second that.
The 2009 NY Mets: WE GOT K-ROD! OMG, Putz, too! Sign Lowe! Lowe's a Brave. Sign Manny! Tim Redding, WTF? Sign Manny! Sheets or Perez? SHEETS! Perez?? Oh, Sheets is hurt -- good job, Minaya! WTF?! SIGN MANNY!

but to be fair
the first person spelled ‘Rickey’ wrong.

True
That might be a different player, then.

Wow I'm a moron, honestly
Thought I skimmed the guesses to make sure – maybe the “Ricky” spelling threw me off. I disqualify myself from future contests.

I concur
I thought for a second I’d be the first.

I think you nailed it.
Hidalgo would have been my second guess. Eric?
by Endys Game on Feb 19, 2009 1:54 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
my guess woulda been
Julio Franco

Jay Payton
I think this is a picture of a check swing and it’s throwing everyone off. Is it me or did Payton check his swing an inordinate amount of times???
by GoReyesGo on Feb 19, 2009 4:15 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
oh snap, yeah payton did alot of check swings….i feel like your right

rey sanchez...i already guessed but noones got it
by dirtydave6986 on Feb 19, 2009 4:46 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
It is, in fact
Rey Sanchez, though I’ll ask you not to do that again since you’ve possibly taken someone else’s opportunity to guess correctly. Nice job nonetheless.

No fair!
The smudging made him look darker. :-) That coulda been David Wright for all I know! hahaha

I think you could have given the rest of us all night and nobody would have gotten it. That was a hard one. Its’ Eric’s call but I say give him the prize.
