Thanks to Greg for the headline (his remark in the \u201cOdd Occurrance<\/a>\u201d post below, plus my additon, four exclaimation points for emphasis). Among the many things\u00a0Karim Garcia<\/strong>\u00a0ruined (not the least of which was almost any day he played for the Mets) was the fouling up of an otherwiseall-odd starting lineup<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0May 30, 2004<\/a>. The chubby cheap Vlad Guererro was the only even-numbered player in the day\u2019s starting lineup, which was a shame since we have yet to find a game in Met history that didn\u2019t have any even-numbered players in it (nor have we found an all-even lineup).<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not to say these things haven\u2019t happened.<\/p>\n

So we\u2019re still looking to find an example of each, not to mention an\u00a0all-ascending<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0all-descending\u00a0<\/strong>starting lineup.<\/p>\n

The clubhouse leaders for highest (274) and lowest (84) combined are as follows:<\/p>\n
