I respect that you don't have someone next to Seaver. I think of Rusty Stabb, Dwight Gooden, Darrell Strawberry and Lenny Dykstrsa

Now that I think of it, I have to add Mike Piazza. And this is going to sound funny, but Ed Kranepool. He played his entire career with the Mets and is still the all-time leader in games, at bats, hits, total bases, doubles, 4th in RBI and 9th in HRs (but Beltran is going to pass him, he's only 2 behind).

You could have added John Thompson to the Providence team also....

Also Jimmy Walker and Lenny Wilkens

No Rich Karlis?

The Broncos would be kinda hard. Elway and Sharpe for sure, other people like Mecklenburg, Terrell Davis, The Three Amigos! (they count as one, right?), Sammy Winder...

As for the Rockies, I'd put Eric Young there instead of Dante. I was there opening day when he hit that leadoff homer. Very cool.

For the Broncos, I'd put Jason Elam in there. He was the kicker on my fantasy team for 3 years and he always came through.

I limited myself to those who made their mark in the pros. Looking again, I should have included Dick Enberg.

Wasn't Mookie Wilson on the Mets, that name alone gets him included!
If you're going on names alone, you have to include Clarence "Choo Choo" Coleman.

It was a tough choice all around.. Yes, TD, Meck, Elam, 3A.. all good choices.

EY is another I'd add if I had more than 4 choices.

But no, I'll pass on Karlis.

I also would've listed Willie Mays, but, obviously, he made his name as a Giant, and, as such, by the time he became a Met, he was clearly and sadly on his way out.
But he always has been and always will be my favorite all-time N.Y./S.F. Giant.
