<\/a>Chris Schwinden: The book is closed on the first\u00a0No. 63\u00a0in team history.

This was a small price to pay given that Ramirez didn’t look to me like he was in great shape to begin with.<\/p>\n
Jack Egbert, destined to be one of the most obscure Mets ever I can already assure you, was sent down when Young arrived. Egbert was so nondecript I forgot even to create a record for him here but that’s done now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
