What players on the Mets wore jersey number 19?
Billy Wagner is wearing #13 for the Mets now. A previous fan favorite to wear the number is Lee Mazzilli, during the 1986 World Championship season. Maz came up with the Mets wearing #12, and quickly swapped with John Stearns for #16. He was their great young hope, the Italian Stallion (when Yankee fans used that phrase for Rick Cerone, Met fans got very upset, sort of like how Yankee fans got upset when Billy Wagner used Mario Rivera's "Enter Sandman" song when he came in from the bullpen). But we digress. One of Mets fans only happy moments in in the late 70s was Maz's great All Star game in 1979 (2 plate appearances: game tying homer in the ninth, walk-off-walk against Ron Guidry in the 10th). Other than that, Maz had only limited success, and the Mets traded Maz for Ron Darling and Walt Terrell in 1982. They then traded Walt Terrell for Howard Johnson. They then brought Maz back in 1986, though at this point Dwight Gooden was wearing #16, so Maz took #13. Maz contributed to key rallies in World Series comebacks in Game 6 and in Game 7. Maz's contribution to that Series is far greater if you credit him for part of Ron Darling and Howard Johnson's contributions, since they were acquired for Maz in the first place.
Edgardo Alfonso also wore #13. He played in the majors for the Mets from 1995 until 2001.
Who was the first New York Mets first manager?
Joe Torre managed the Mets in 1979. This was before he became a genius managing the Yankees to 4 World Series wins. This was a little reminiscent of Casey Stengel, who managed the Mets after he had been a genius managing the Yankees to World Series titles. Torre duplicated Stengel's last place finishes, but without the fun.
Do you like the mets or Yankees?
No the Yankees have more money to spend and are a better team. The Yankees have beaten the Mets in the World Series, the subway series. The Yankees are probably the best team in baseball, because they have the most money to spend hiring great players.
Is the pole in the outfield called the foul pole or fair post in baseball?
The foul Pole is to aide the umpire in determining if a baseball hit is fair or foul. The Foul pole is in fair territory, so if the ball hits the pole it is a fair ball, and would count as a home run. If it misses the pole outside of the playing field it is a foul ball (out of play) This is why it is called a 'Foul Pole" It could have been called a Fair Pole as it is in fair territory, but the powers that be decided on "Foul Pole" and "Foul Line"
Who was the only baseball player who played and managed both NY Mets and NY Yankees?
It's never happened, not when all the teams played in New York. The person who probably came closest was Sal Maglie, who pitched for the Giants, Dodgers and Yankees in New York before ending his career in 1958, four years before the Mets were born and the first year that the Dodgers and Giants were no longer home teams in New York. Others like Maglie who played for all three New York teams were Fred Merkle, first baseman, and the following pitchers: Waite Hoyt, Burleigh Grimes, Johnny Allen and Bobo Newsom. Only Casey Stengel ever suited up for the four New York teams - as a player with the Giants, as a manager with the Yankees and Mets, and as player and manager with the Dodgers.
