A little trivia for you Mets fans…
Chipper Jones faced Jason Isringhausen tonight and that got me thinking: who has been on the same team throughout both of his stints on the Mets?
To start off with, as I tweeted a few moments ago when I completed my research on the super computer, Chipper is the ONLY player who Izzy has faced on both of his stints with the Mets, who has remained on the same team. Something about that is pretty amazing to me, I don’t know about you. (Man, Larry has been on the Braves forever.)
Now, only seven players have remained with the same team since Isringhausen was last a Met in 1999. Chipper is one of those seven, who last faced Izzy when he was a starter with the Mets in 1997.
Who are the other six?
Chime in within the comments section with your guesses. Hint: four hitters, one pitcher.
And when you’re ready, here’s the answer.
Thanks to Baseball Musings and Baseball-Reference for helping me with the research.
