HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

Great pinch hitter.

I'm pretty sure Carreon and Rickey Henderson are the only position players in Met history to bat righty and throw lefty.

You forgot Cleon Jones.He threw left and batted right.

I had a friend who looked exactly like Mark Carreon. Haven't seen him though since he got divorced since it was his wife I really knew.

Mark was a decent utility guy and pinch hitter. A lot of people wanted to see him play every day but some guys are good in bit roles and can't do it every day. Kinda like Danny Heep. Mark was one of those guys. He was good at what he did but really couldn't do more. Not a very good defensive outfielder.

The Mets should've kept this guy and gave him more playing time. He couldn't have been any worse than Juan Samuel or Keith Miller. He also went on to hit .301 one year with the Giants.

Mark Carreon really made one of my best days ever at Shea. Mets were down by two with two outs in the bottom of the 9th to whoever. Mackey Sasser & Carreon hit back-to-back pinch-hit HR's to tie the game and HoJo won it in the 12th with another HR. Amazing.

Carreon suffered one of the more frightening injuries I have ever seen. A slide on the basepaths that left him rolling around in agony. I wondered whether he would walk again, it was so bad.

Carreon once got in trouble for leaving a game early, apparently in protest over his benching. Not very smart, especially if you're trying - and failing- to prove yourself as an everyday player. Nonetheless, he usually said all the right things to the reporters and often came through with the bat during the downward years of Davey and Buddy.

Back in 1989 my company at the time (a huge sponsor for the Mets - think Snoopy) hosted a family day at Shea, so we were all in the picnic area bleachers... free food and beer. The whole bit. From what I remember the game was tied going into the bottom of the 9th and Carreon hit a nice shot right into the bleachers to win the game. He was pretty clutch.
