HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

Chris Jones was a very good clutch pinch hitter in the mold of Matt Franco and Lenny Harris. Was a decent fourth outfielder too. A very distinct memory I have of Chris was a game against the Giants I went too when it was "Free Sock Day" at Shea The Mets were trailing by two runs in the bottom of the nintth..two runners were on base with two outs..now this was around the time where it seemed like Jones would get a homer each time he pinch it..and sure enough, he hit one just inside the right field foul pole that wouldve gave the Mets a dramatic one -run win..except for the fact that the first base umpire incorrectly ruled it foul..Jones then promptly struck out his next at bat..everyone was so mad at being robbed of a victory taht they started throwing their free socks on the field!

I was at that game as well. I remember thinking how it was a perfect situation, because Jones was so clutch as a pinch hitter, he reminded me of Mark Carreon, as both had moments of late inning heroics from the bench. That umpire blew an obvious call, and ruined my day (and Jones' as well, I'm sure).

Just thinking about the times he made me jump off the couch going wild makes me happy. God bless this guy. I hope he is living a wonderful life. Over 10 years later and just thinking about how he seemed to hit a pinch hit homer every time up makes me happy.

Chris Jones hit 12 HRs as a Met---and 3 of those were walk off HRs.

Actually JFK, you're selling him one short. Jones hit 4 game ending homers as a met. And actually should have hit 5....as he did hit a would be game ending homer against the Giants as well, but the umpires incorrectly called it foul, and he struck out in the at bat.
