HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

Had the team made coming out of spring training, 1990. Quit.

Met him the summer of 89 at Bill Robinson baseball camp in Staten Island. Nice guy

Phil Lewis

I knew Lombardi in 1985 when he was the number one catcher for the Albany-Colonie Yankees in the Eastern League. Phil was a very friendly guy who showed flashes of major league potential.

Absolutely, positively could not throw. Not even back to the mound. I remember a game at Shea where Bobby Ojeda was visibly upset at having to jump and bend for each throw back from Lombardi. It was painful to watch.

Phil Lombardi is one of only four players (to my knowledge) who have spent their entire major league career with both the Yankees and the Mets, and no one else.
The others are current minor leaguer Brandon Knight, oldtimer Hal Reniff, and some guy Yogi something.

Doctor Worm,
According to baseballreference.com, there are actually FIVE players. The fifth is the immortal Roy Staiger!

It seems no one memorialized Lombardi upon his passing last year at age 58, so here's a post recognizing this former Met. He was one of the guys the club received in exchange for Rafael Santana in 1987.
His lone Mets home run came off pitcher Mark Langston.
