\n49 – Roberto Hernandez, Phil Humber (pending)<\/em>
\n59 – Alay Soler, Guillermo Mota<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m pretty sure that’s a record.<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s not! As with many season records concerning the Met population,\u00a01967 dominates.<\/strong>\u00a0In that year the Mets ran out a record 54 players, including\u00a015 sets<\/strong>\u00a0of like-number-wearing teammates, including\u00a0four-of-a-kind at 38<\/strong>\u00a0(unfortunately, they weren’t Aces). In the example below,\u00a0Nolan Ryan<\/strong>assumes Humber’s place as the rookie pitcher who saw no game action but occupied a jersey.<\/p>\n

\"\"2 – Chuck Hiller, Phil Linz
\n5- Sandy Alomar, Ed Charles
\n6- Bob Johnson, Bart Shirley
\n18- Al Luplow, Joe Moock
\n19- Kevin Collins, Hawk Taylor
\n24- Johnny Lewis, Ken Boswell
\n26- Bob Shaw, Bill Graham
\n29- Danny Frisella, Nick Willhite
\n30- Dick Selma, Nolan Ryan
\n32- Jack Hamilton, Hal Reniff
\n33- Chuck Estrada, Bob Hendley
\n34- Jack Lamabe, Cal Koonce
\n35- Don Shaw, Billy Wynne
\n38- Ralph Terry, Dennis Bennett, Billy Wynne, Billy Connors
\n44- Bill Denehy, Al Schmelz<\/p>\n

And there you have it. Great question!<\/p>\n

In case you didn’t see it, MBTN’s meeting with the brilliant\u00a0Paul Lukas<\/strong>\u00a0of\u00a0Uni Watch<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0was published this week — there’s no higher recognition for a uni-centric web site.
