HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

Mr. Sparkle
Hard to believe the Mets, who had Wally Backman playing second in 82 send him down in 83 so that Brian Giles could play. Giles was as light a hitting player as you could get. Thank God Wally was back in 84.

Very slight build. Very typical of what was coming out out the farm system at that time (between Matlack and Mookie). He needed to hit the weights. At the time he came up, we as Mets fans were desperate for any sign of talent. He wasn't it. One memory that I could use a little help with is... In a late August-early September game against the Braves in Atlanta (A JOE TORRE TEAM). The Braves were in a pennant race and I believe Gene Garber was called on to protect a 2 run lead. He didn't. Giles homered to give the Mets the lead. It was short lived. The bullpen blew it in the bottom of the frame.

Brian Giles was my personal baseball mentor throughout high school. He taught me mental and physical aspects of the game that allowed me to surpass all of my competition. His positive attitude and love for the game of baseball was what I admired most. Due to his great teaching abilities, I ended up with the highest batting average in the region, helped my high school team win the championship, and learned lessons about life and challenges. He molded me into my highest baseball self. I remember talking to him on the phone during a MLB game and the way he analyzed and dissected the game was truly fascinating and a learning experience in its self. Thanks for all the attention and compassion you had for me and for the game of baseball. Please email me if you ever get this message Brian!!!

He loves the game. His kid is one heck of an 11-year-old player. He helps out with infield drills with the boys. Great dad and is allays around the ball fields to help out the boys. Boy can he talk a story or two!!!

My only memory about Brian Giles was from when I was a little boy. My father stood me up on a seat and pointed at me from behind. Giles saw us and threw a ball to my father. I remembered being on the 3rd baseline and it was an afternoon game against the Cardinals. In looking at the years he played for the Mets, it must have been 1983 which would have made me 5 1/2 years old.
