HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

During BP of a Mets-Cincy game earlier this year (2000), I watched as Harris met with and chatted to a dozen guys from both teams and broke every last one of them up. Definitely a character. Would never have gone to AZ had Phillips not been exiled for indiscretions with secretaries.

Lenny Harris has shown us that he can hit, but he hasn't shown us that he can field. It doesn't matter to me. He has always come off as a nice guy.

A $3 million clubhouse man, who's fat and old, but hey- -- he keeps Mike Piazza happy! What a bunch of bull this PH record is. He can't play and Matt Franco is just as good a PH and better fielder/pitcher!

What did Michael Jackson and Lenny Harris have in common? They both wore a glove on one hand for no apparent reason! Harris is the worst fielder I have ever seen in baseball, even worse than Gregg Jefferies or Rob Deer. I'll never forget the game he started in 2001 where he started at FIRST BASE and committed two errors in the first inning (and if it wasn't for the official scorer, he would have had three!). In addition, his vaunted "pinch hit record" is based on the amount of opportunities--Harris batted .222 in '01 with just 9 RBI. Productive?

Lenny had been a decent enough bench player at times in his career, and I thought he gave the Mets a lift in 1998 and in 2000, but in 2001, his defense was not only as bad as usual, but his pinch-hits generally came in meaningless situations.

At least in 2001, Harris wasn't a pinch-hitter who you wanted facing an elite closer, he was more a guy who would bat in the seventh inning when we were down by four, and maybe get a ground single.

After the World Series I looked at the pictures of the Marlins celebrating on ESPN.com and there was Lenny, in the first picture. with a gigantic s*** eating grin from ear to ear holding the trophy. I didn't even realize Lenny was on the Marlins. He got about 16 at bats for them during the season and now he has a ring. It was funny just seeing his mug there. He kinda remined me of Randy Neiman after 86 where Cashen said the guy who contributes the least makes the most noise. I'm sure Lenny partied hard that night.

My favorite Lenny Harris moment came during one game at Shea when they had an "Ask The Mets" type of segment on DiamondVision. The question was "Who's the funniest Met?" Various Mets chimed in, all answering "Lenny Harris." Then Lenny's mug appeared, giggling, and said, "me." I always liked Lenny Harris, even if I was never terribly excited to see him come to the plate.

I was excited to see him batting cleanup for the Marlins when the Mets were in Florida on May 29, though... when Lenny Harris is batting fourth, your lineup is NOT scary. (Sadly, the Mets forgot to beat up on Carl Pavano that day, and despite Lenny's 0- fer, the Fish beat the Mets, 3-2.)
