The Crimson King Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 3 hours ago, section314 said: lefty from Brooklyn.....John Candelaria. Guess on 3rd baseman.....Ed Brussard? OF Gotta be Lance Johnson again. Bill Sudaikis Burt Hooten Candelaria is correct 3Bman was the starter 1st 2 years at Shea ('64-65). Bressoud was an interesting guess though ('66 team) OF is easy, not Lance Johnson again (hint: not all his teams were listed in the question) Bill Sudakis is correct Hooten nice guess but this guy pitched over 1,000 games so he was a reliever for most of his career. Played '52-72, 9 teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crimson King Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 Mets trivia for a lazy Sunday ... 1. Picher Bill Denehy was once a top Mets prospect. He didn't pan out and ended with a lifetime record of 1-10. He only pitched for the Mets part of one season, yet he played one of the most important roles in team history. What was it? 2. As we all know Luis Rojas' brother player for the Mets but naming him is toooo easy for you guys. So instead, name the MLB brother of each of these former Mets: Wayne Garrett Travis d'Arnaud Pepe Mangual Bob Aspromonte Tom Glavine Al Leiter Marv Throneberry Eddie Murray Frank Lary Dennis Bennett Alex Trevino Ken Boyer (other than Clete, there was a third) Bobby Klaus Darrell Sutherland … or maybe the question should be , how many of these Mets do you actually remember? OK, OK, stop complaining, at least I left out Leon Brown, Sammy Drake and Josias Manzanillo Too easy? OK, the minor league player brothers for these former Mets: Tug McGraw Edgardo Alfonzo Endy Chavez Zack Wheeler (two of them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfonzo play for the NJ Cardinals minor league squad. Always wondered if that was Edgardo's brother. That's pretty good. Eliezer played in the majors in the 80's. Backup catcher for the Giants and some other teams. Never heard him mentioned as a relative but he is also from Venezuela. Edgardo's older brother Edgar played for many years in the minors in the Angels(?) system and then managed in the Mets system for the early 2000's or so. Won a championship in Brooklyn along the way, which is why we remember him. He also coached in the Mets minor leagues and may still be coaching today in another organization. Another brother Roberto played for one year in the Mets system before becoming one of the Mets International scouts. He is remembered for signing up Wilmer Flores. Edgardo also had a son drafted by the Mets a couple of years ago but I don't think he ever played pro ball. Edgar had a son named Edgar, Jr who pitched in the Mets system for a bunch of years. Plus another son who played with the LI Ducks a couple of years ago (forgot his name, sorry) Now that is a lot of Alfonzos (Alfonzi?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eliezer I saw play was in the late 90s. He made it to the bigs and played for the Giants, Padres, Mariners and Rockies from 2006-11: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/a/alfonel01.shtml 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
