TIM BOGAR Share your memories of Tim Bogar Tim Bogar's complete Mets profile Bob P June 22, 2009 Tim is currently the first base coach for the Red Sox. His name has been mentioned as a possible candidate for the Astros mangerial spot if Cecil Cooper does not get the Astros on a major roll soon. Bogar had a record of 250-168 (.601) as a minor league manager for the Astros and Indians. He was also a coach for the 2008 AL Champion Tampa Bay Rays.

BRUCE BOISCLAIR Share your memories of Bruce Boisclair Bruce Boisclair's complete Mets profile Bob P June 18, 2009 Pete, Bruce hit six triples in the major leagues. His final triple came in the Mets home opener on Tuesday, April 10, 1979 against the Expos. The game was tied 2-2 in the bottom of the ninth. I assume this is what you were referring to..I will plug in the narration from retrosheet.com: METS 9TH: SOSA REPLACED HUTTON (PITCHING); Flynn was called out on strikes; BOISCLAIR BATTED FOR SWAN; Boisclair tripled to right; Mazzilli was walked intentionally; Boisclair was caught stealing home (catcher to third) [Mazzilli to second]; Chapman grounded out (shortstop to first); 0 R, 1 H, 0 E, 1 LOB. Expos 2, Mets 2. The Expos won the game, 3-2 in fourteen innings.

TOBY BORLAND Share your memories of Toby Borland Toby Borland's complete Mets profile groverland1 June 22, 2009 I will never forget that opening day, 1997. Bobby V's first opening day as manager. Toby came in and threw wild pitch after wild pitch. The looks on Bobby V's and Bob Apodaca's faces were priceless.

LARRY BOWA Share your memories of Larry Bowa Larry Bowa's complete Mets profile Bob P June 18, 2009 In 1972, his third full season with the Phillies, Bowa accomplished a rare statistical feat. In more than 630 plate appearances, he finished the season with 13 triples, but he had just 11 doubles and one home run. So Larry had more triples than he had doubles and home runs combined!

LUIS CASTILLO Share your memories of Luis Castillo Luis Castillo's complete Mets profile Andy June 16, 2009 Luis Castillo has the distinction of making the worst play I will ever see in baseball.

GIL FLORES Share your memories of Gil Flores Gil Flores's complete Mets profile scott r June 30, 2009 Five years after his last game as a Met he was still with them in AAA. Must've loved the game. Not a lot of guys would stick around in AAA for that long.

DAVE KINGMAN Share your memories of Dave Kingman Dave Kingman's complete Mets profile Phil Wilson June 22, 2009 I spent time with Dave Kingman during a day at a sports camp in Montvale NJ where Dave made an appearance back in 1975. He was an extremely nice and polite man to my mom, sister and myself. I remember him hitting a popup and the baseball coaches waited so long for it to come down they fell flat on their faces and covered their heads!

JERRY KOOSMAN Share your memories of Jerry Koosman Jerry Koosman's complete Mets profile Catch 22 June 18, 2009 My favorite memory of Jerry Koosman is not a memory of him at all, but a funny story. When I took the bar exam in Delaware, everybody picked a secret number. Your bar exam grades were then assigned to that number. And you found out if you passed or failed by looking at the grades listed next to that secret number. The number I picked was 36. Jerry Koosman!!!! One of my childhood heroes and winner of the deciding game of the 1969 World Series. I knew right then and there that I would pass the exam and, guess, what? I did!

FELIX MILLAN Share your memories of Felix Millan Felix Millan's complete Mets profile Mike from da Bronx June 30, 2009 You forgot to add that not only did Nellie and Felix get their fair share of hits, they rarely struck out and always moved the runners over. Millan was very underrated.

RANDY MYERS Share your memories of Randy Myers Randy Myers's complete Mets profile John Whelan June 18, 2009 I met Randy Myers in, of all places, our Station House Highway Patrol Unit #3(NYPD) I found him to be very pleasant and cordial. He was a good friend of one of the men that I worked with, who introduced me to him. He loved to talk about baseball, and when he would see me over at Shea Stadium, he would always talk to me. To show what type of person he was, he came to my retirement ceremony, and could not believe I was retiring. He had pictures taken with just him and I. I know how some people perceive him as flaky, but you can find people like that in all organizations. Every organization has to have people like that, and the NYPD was no different than the NY METS. I loved people like that. It made the time go by that much faster.

FERNANDO NIEVE Share your memories of Fernando Nieve Fernando Nieve's complete Mets profile Mr. Sparkle June 24, 2009 Three games into his Mets career and he has been really really good so far. Is he a flash in the pan or did the Mets luck into finding a good pitcher just coming into his own? Time will tell but so far so good. Hopefully I have not jinxed him. He does have pretty good stuff though. Frank B June 26, 2009 So far, so good for Fernando. He throws 94+ and has shown great poise to get out of tricky situations. He is only 26 and was at one time regarded highly by the Astros. Let's hope the Mets stole one here. We need it!

JERROD RIGGAN Share your memories of Jerrod Riggan Jerrod Riggan's complete Mets profile Brewster Reds Player June 30, 2009 I don't care what anyone says about Riggan - he is an excellent coach! He is awesome to play for!

OMIR SANTOS Share your memories of Omir Santos Omir Santos's complete Mets profile Gets by Buckner June 16, 2009 Omir has turned out to be a pleasant surprise for the Mets in 2009. We can only hope his hitting will continue. If not, it will make the Castro trade look horrible.

CHICO WALKER Share your memories of Chico Walker Chico Walker's complete Mets profile Erich June 22, 2009 I was actually shocked when I just looked this up and found out that Chico only played 2 seasons for the Mets. I was born in 82 so I hardly remember 86, and I really became a fan in the early 90s. After some decent baseball that dragged me in, I really had my coming of age during what I call "the Chico Walker era." I just rememeber being 10 or 11 years old and repeatedly watching Chico pinch hitting and taking a called third strike to end the game. His not even getting the bat of the shoulder seemed to symbolize the futility of the times.

MOOKIE WILSON Share your memories of Mookie Wilson Mookie Wilson's complete Mets profile Prospectus June 18, 2009 Mookie turned first once it got past Buckner and it was hardly a slow developing play. He totally made it. It would have been interesting how Harrelson would have coached Knight since he was also in a wind sprint.

HERM WINNINGHAM Share your memories of Herm Winningham Herm Winningham's complete Mets profile scott r June 22, 2009 Looks like did well in his late 1984 callup. Always remembered as part of the Gary Carter trade.
