That's amazing, pardon the (semi-self) pun. I went to high school with the NFL's Richie Erenberg, but no Mets!
Brad Emaus (see, a five-letter name with 3 letters in the same position as "Evans") FTW!
1. Jose Reyes, ss
2.
3. David Wright, 3b
4. Carlos Beltran, rf
5. Angel Pagan, cf
6. Ike Davis, 1b
7. Brad Emaus, 2b
8. Josh Thole, c
9. Mike Pelfrey, p
NOT: Jason Bay (injured), R.A. Dickey (later in rotation), Lucas Duda (bench-platoon), Nick Evans (AAA), Daniel Murphy (bench), Johan Santana (injured), Ruben Tejada (AAA), Justin Turner (AAA).
And now for the guy in left…a versatile veteran who played for more than a decade, the Mets were one of seven teams he played for. And, IIRC, with Bay on the DL, he's the only Met on the opening day roster who sported a World Championship ring.
(Discussions of Beltran and 2017 are for other threads, methinks…)
