Reese Kaplan came up with a great idea for a series here.
Who was your all-time favorite at a position and who was your most reviled.
Next up... the home of Jeff Kent, Daniel Murphy, Luis Castillo, Rben Tejada, Robinson Cano, and Edgardo Alfonzo...
2B
Most loved - Ron Hunt
ReplyDeleteMost reviled - Danny Muno
Most loved - Danny Muno err, I mean Jeff McNeil; runner up Ron Hunt, who was not the first ex-Met to hit 50, but the first to get hit 50 times.
ReplyDeleteMost reviled - Luis Castillo, probably. That pop up drop was a knife in the heart
2nd runner up? Wally Backman
ReplyDeleteMost loved -- Edgardo Alfonzo (though McNeil, if he returns to 2B, could win me over).
ReplyDeleteMost despised -- Ruben Tejada (Hey, if Tom can list him as a favorite with less than 100 games under his belt at that position then I can list Tejada here with 128 games at 2B)
