Tom Edens 1987 UIN

It's annoying that I can't find a good (major league) picture of Edens, given how often-photographed the defending World Champions must have been. Even allowing that Edens only made two starts while Mets rotation was a disaster (Doc Gooden out on drug suspension; Sid Fernandez, Bob Ojeda and Rick Aguilera [then a starter] out with arm/shoulder issues; David Cone a pleasant rookie surprise, but then breaks a finger trying to bunt against Atlee Hammaker of the Giants) and couldn't take starts away from the likes of Terry Leach and John Mitchell, there should be (and probably are, somewhere) pictures of him as a Met.

But instead, all I have is the 1990s Mets comprehensive set from The Wiz; black and white, crappy photography, and once I sharpened the image, it appears that the "NY" on the cap is a paste job; he's probably actually in a Tidewater uniform or some such. But…better than nothing, I suppose.

In various sizes, including my usual gratuitous sepia treatment of B/W pictures:
