too fat to be Maine, methinks
We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

Agreed
Also, the uniform looks a little old. And there’s virtually no one in the stands. So I’m thinking someone from the early- to mid-90’s.

also
it looks like the umpire has (presumably) and NL patch on his hat, which went out of style in the mid to late 90s (i think), so it probably is early 90s.

yeah, I had that though too
but there was something about, I dunno, the head maybe? that made me think it was Maine
I know what you mean about the head
But this guy has too much around the middle. Maine is lithe like a deer.

It kinda looks like Maine's long ostrich-like neck
But I pick Brian Bannister.
That would be my guess, too
But I don’t think it’s right.
'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.'

i think
bobby jones has been guessed by at least 1 person in every “name that mets pitcher”
eric, i think you should put bobby jones up next just to get it out of the way…and put the other bobby jones up the next day just for good measure.

Whoever it is
He must have not been popular. Look at all of those empty orange seats.

not necessarily
It could be a weekday day game—even during a great season, they tend not to draw huge crowds.

another clue?
It could be a reliever doing mop-up work
Received.
Has Eric posted a picture of a reliever before though?

the empty seats were what would have gave it away

Not sure if that’s the spelling but for some strange reason that’s the first name that came to mind when i saw the pic. Reynoso is also a good guess.
Easy!
It’s Heilman . . . had the picture also displayed the baserunner’s jogging around after a homerun, it would’ve been a dead giveaway.
BWA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!!!

Am I Right? Is it HEILMAN?
i can’t wait . . . I need to know if it’s Heilman . . . the suspense is killing me like an opposing batter killing his fastball . . .
BWA-HA-HA-HA!!!! X 2
