“In a row?”
Trot Nixon, 37th No. 6 in Mets history, and fourth this year, tying its own record from 2004 for the most times issued in a single season and extending 6’s dominance as the most frequently issued Mets jersey.

Hey, thanks for pointing that out. McCray appears in the text for the book, but appears to have been omitted from the index. He was also left off this database until just now. I’m not sure how that happened, but thanks again for pointing it out.

Am I the only one, a year later, who caught your Ralph Kiner reference? “For all you fathers out there, Happy Birthday.”
