So You Think You Know The Mets: Ya Gotta Have A Catcher

 

Selected with the second pick of the 1961 Expansion Draft, catcher Hobie Landrith would become the first official member of the New York Mets.

When manager Casey Stengel was asked why the Mets selected Landrith above some other more notable players, he quipped…

“You have to have a catcher because if you don’t you’re likely going to have a lot of passed balls.”

Landrith played just 24 games for the Mets before being dealt to the Baltimore Orioles for first baseman Marv Throneberry.

Luckily, the Mets have been fortunate enough to have some of the game’s best catchers play for them throughout their colorful history.

In this edition of So You Think You Know The Mets, we want to see if you can name the top 20 players who have caught the most games for the Amazins.

You have a generous four minutes to name all twenty of them.

Good Luck and LGM!
