HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

Great curve but it couldn't get him out of the Dublin Pub or the bottom of the second. He was in that pub every home game night (it seemed) and in trouble every bottom of the second. What a waste of talent!

Refresh my memory but didn't the Mets trade Orosco to get this guy? Wasn't Blaine Beatty somehow involved? Whatever the case, this guy never did anything good. Whenever you saw Wally on the mound you never had any confidence whatsoever.

This is a guy who looks like he should be mopping up, and I dont mean out of the bullpen. If rednecks gave out awards for making it big his face would be on the plaque. Mostly I remember Whitehurst creating long lines at the beer stand, captivating the hundreds who came out to watch him put you to sleep all summer long. Here's to you Wally, and where's the beav ?

I stumbled upong this site and had to respond to the comments. Wally had a decent ERA and if you remember correctly Mets fans, the Mets were not plating many runs during those years he was pitching. He never did get much run support. He was a good pitcher and with the diluting pitching after the strike, he could have continued. Until you have pitched in the major leagues, perhaps your comments should be less critical towards his pitching and more pointed towards the lousy Offense the Mets had during those years.

His facial expression never changed the whole time he was here. He always looked like he does in the above picture - even when working with children.

Whitehurst was a perfect example of the wholesome, fan-friendly type the front office wanted to replace the party animals of the late-80's. Believing him to be the real deal, the Mets traded wild-guy Ron Darling for Tim Burke. Of course, both Wally and Burke bombed while Darling helped pitch the A's to a division title.

To add insult to injury, I recall Whitehurst winning a crucial mid-season game for the 1996 Yankees. I wonder if he got a ring.
