Bitter Bill’s All Time New York Mets Busts

See I wasn’t kidding when I said the 1939 Mets would have signed Lou Gehrig in the off-season…Bitter Bill has a great list of Mets busts (free-agents/trades).

I totally forgot Tony Fernandez played for this team.

You kids won’t remember Richie Hebner. I’m convinced that 95% of Mets fans are 24 years old and only know who Keith Hernandez is because he’s on TV. Nothing wrong with it, but some days I feel like the old man on the mountain, and I ain’t that old.

Here’s Bill’s list.

Oh and Bill – to answer your question whether it was more amazing that they brought Bonilla in the first time or the second….clearly the second. The first time he seemed good (having Barry Bonds in your lineup tends to bring out the best in hitters), the second time the Mets were fools. Shockingly they didn’t understand their fanbase. Imagine.

One hour until we start complaining about All Star Teams, can’t wait!
