Anyone recall a pitcher at second base for Mets?

Does anyone recall a pitcher taking an emergency inning at second base sometime in the late 1970’s?

I thought I remembered something and even emailed the pitcher I thought it was. Â He quickly emailed back (thanks for that, I’m not name-dropping so you don’t get bombed with emails) and doesn’t recall it. Â Nor does baseball almanac.

Anyone remember such a thing?

I recall Bob Myrick playing second base http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/myricbo01.shtml

but can’t recall the circumstance

According to the Ultimate Mets Database, no pitchers were among the 122 Mets who have played 2nd base.

Thanks. I don’t know why my brain made that up, and it’s not like I thought of it yesterday for the first time. Hmmm.

I seemed to remember this as well and for some reason I thought it was Dyer Miller or Dale Murray but Myrick might be right and I’m just remembering the letter “M”. The Ultimate Mets Fan Database does not list anyone who was a pitcher at 2nd base so maybe we’re all wrong.
