The other day, with Tommy Pham's home run chain, an interesting connection emerged. Parson Perryman, who gave up Elmer Smith's first home run in 1915, gave up only one other major league home run, to Jack Fournier, who is part of Francisco Lindor's home run chain, which we had not gotten to yet.Lindor hit his 18th home run of the season last night, and 202nd of his career, off Ryne Nelson, as part of the Mets' 9-0 victory in Phoenix, their fifth straight triumph.* Francisco Lindor hit his first home run off Buck Farmer, 6/24/15* Buck Farmer gave up his first home run to Travis Snider, 8/13/14* Travis Snider hit his first home run off Kevin Slowey, 9/4/08* Kevin Slowey gave up his first home run to Eric Chávez, 6/1/07* Eric Chávez hit his first home run off LaTroy Hawkins, 5/15/99* LaTroy Hawkins gave up his first home run to Harold Baines, 4/29/95* Harold Baines hit his first home run off Jim Palmer, 4/19/80* Jim Palmer gave up his first home run to Moose Skowron, 4/19/65* Moose Skowron hit his first home run off Alex Kellner, 4/15/54* Alex Kellner gave up his first home run to Yogi Berra, 4/26/49* Yogi Berra hit his first home run off Jesse Flores, 9/22/46* Jesse Flores gave up his first home run to Nanny Fernandez, 4/29/42* Nanny Fernandez hit his first home run off Hal Schumacher, 4/17/42* Hal Schumacher gave up his first home run to Don Hurst, 4/15/31* Don Hurst hit his first home run off Red Lucas, 5/15/28* Red Lucas gave up his first home run to Jack Fournier, 5/5/24* Jack Fournier hit his first home run off Joe Engel, 8/7/13* Joe Engel gave up his first home run to Donie Bush, 6/10/12* Donie Bush hit his first home run off Ray Collins, 5/17/10* Ray Collins gave up his first home run to Hobe Ferris, 7/30/09* Hobe Ferris hit his first home run off Bill Reidy, 6/11/01* Bill Reidy gave up his first home run to Mike Donlin, 5/25/01* Mike Donlin hit his first home run off Bill Bernhard, 8/26/99* Bill Bernhard gave up his first home run to Jimmy Williams, 7/24/99* Jimmy Williams hit his first home run off Jack Dunn, 6/29/99* Jack Dunn gave up his first home run to Cy Seymour, 5/6/97* Cy Seymour hit his first home run off Bill Hoffer, 4/30/97* Bill Hoffer gave up his first home run to Mike Griffin, 4/26/95* Mike Griffin hit his first home run off Ed Seward, 4/16/87As for last night, it was more than a Good Night for Lindor, it was a great one: 5-for-5 with a homer and two triples — the rare double shy of the cycle. The last time a Met was a double shy was last July 29, when Starling Marte had a single, triple, and homer in Miami. The only other time that a Met was a double shy of the cycle but had another, superior extra-base hit? Rico Brogna with two homers on May 11, 1996 against the Cubs. Shoutout to those who also, like Lindor, had two singles: Gary Carter (1985), Dave Magadan (1990), Damion Easley (2008), Travis d'Arnaud (2017), and Amed Rosario (2019).Lindor is the first Met to finish a double shy of the cycle and have a five-hit game. That's happened only three other times since Brett Gardner became the only player to do this against the Mets, in 2009: Eduardo Escobar (2014 Twins), Tucker Barnhart (2018 Reds), and David Peralta (2021 Diamondbacks). The Mets' record for triples in a game remains three, set by Doug Flynn in 1980. Lindor joins Joe Chrisotpher, back on August 18, 1964, in the Mets' two-triples-and-a-homer-in-the-same-game club. Those hits were important as Christopher hit exactly .300 for the season, joining Ron Hunt as the Mets' first pair of .300 hitters — Richie Ashburn set the early team record at .306 in 1962, and Hunt was the team's batting champ at .272 in the 111-loss second season.

There have been 1,193 players who have appeared for the Mets, according to Baseball Reference as of this morning, but only 1,187 names for players in Mets history. Yesterday, Bobby Jones — an entirely different Bobby Jones than either of the Mets' Bobbys Jones, and the golfer Bobby Jones, and not the Hall of Famer from the 76ers Bobby Jones either, that was the point — came up on Twitter thanks to my old Sporting News colleague Adi Joseph. It got me thinking… how many times have the Mets had that happen, the double Bobby Jones thing?So, I went to the list of all-time Mets names and found the repeaters. Let's take a look at these six pairs and declare the definitive Met for each name.Sandy Alomar was traded from Atlanta to Houston around the start of spring training in 1967, then traded by the Astros to the Mets for Derrell Griffith at the start of spring training. At the age of 23, Alomar went 0-for-22 as a Met, and got traded to the White Sox in August of 1967 as the player to be named later in the Bill Southworth trade (the Mets also gave up Ken Boyer). Alomar was more significantly with the Yankees, playing three seasons in the Bronx, but mostly a California Angel. Anyway, here are the lowest OPS figures for players with at least 4,000 plate appearances in the live ball era:Doug Flynn (1975-85): .560Alomar (1964-78): .578Tommy Thevenow (1924-38): .579Mark Belanger (1965-82): .580Ed Brinkman (1961-75): .580In 2007, Sandy Alomar Jr. joined his old man in accumulating 22 at-bats as a Met. In the last eight games of a career that deserved better than 2.8% of the Hall of Fame ballot and going off the ballot in his first year, Alomar collected three hits: two singles and a double. The Mets' third base coach at the time? Of course it was Sandy Alomar Sr., the definitive Met Sandy Alomar because of that coaching stint.On May 10, 1967, with their original Sandy Alomar in the fold, the Mets purchased the contract of Bob Johnson from the Orioles. Playing all over the infield, but mostly second base, Johnson acquitted himself nicely in his first taste of National League ball, hitting .348/.377/.474 with five homers — the best hitting of his career, really. After the season, the Mets traded Johnson to the Reds for Art Shamsky, who became part of the 1969 championship team alongside Bob Johnson, a lefty pitcher. This Bob Johnson pitched two games for the Mets, and retired five of the seven batters he faced for a World Series-winning team (two quick outs to mop up against the Pirates on September 19, and a 12th-inning save at Wrigley Field on October 1). Johnson did pitch in the World Series against the Orioles, but not in 1969. He did that in 1971 with the Pirates, having been traded from New York to Kansas City (along with Amos Otis, oops) after the 1969 season for Joe Foy. The original Bob Johnson has a greater claim to the Mets' throne of Bobs Johnson.Bobby Jones, we don't even really need to go deep on. He and Bobby Jones were teammates on the 2000 Mets, and whether you differentiated them as Bobby J. and Bobby M., righty and lefty, starter and reliever, or white and Black, there was never any question that the main Bobby Jones was the 1997 All-Star and former first-round pick — not the journeyman.Mike Marshall is best known as a Dodger, either for winning the 1974 Cy Young Award or for his three-run homer that broke open Game 2 of the 1988 World Series, depending whether you decide to talk about him or Mike Marshall. In Mets history, neither is particularly significant. The pitching Marshall signed with the Mets in August of 1981, posted a 2.61 ERA in 20 appearances, and called it a career. On December 20, 1989, the Mets traded Juan Samuel to Los Angeles for the slugger Marshall and Alejandro Peña… Marshall was traded to Boston that July after hitting .239/.278/.411 with six homers in 53 games. Once again, can't beat the original.Bob Miller was a lefty who went 2-2 with a 7.08 ERA for the 1962 Mets (hey, that's 5% of their wins!) after coming over from Cincinnati in May of the teams's first season, along with Don Zimmer. Righty Bob Miller likewise ended his career with the Mets, joining the club near the end of the 1973 season after having his contract purchased from the Tigers, then sticking around through 1974. Neither is that exciting, go once again with the original for the Zimmer connection.Last but not least, we've got Chris Young and Chris Young, and anyone who remembers the outfielder's doomed stint in Flushing in 2014 knows that it's the pitcher, here in 2011 and 2012, who is the ulti-Met CY.

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure, but quintessential Mets players from the past. Doug Flynn spent the first two years of his major league career as a member of one of the greatest teams in history—Cincinnati’s Big Red Machine of 1975-76. With the late-70s Mets flailing and feuding with their biggest star, Flynn would come to the Mets as a piece in one of the most infamous trades in Mets’ history—the Midnight Massacre that saw Tom Seaver sent away from the franchise. After a rocky beginning, Flynn settled in as a light-hitting middle infielder with an impressive glove. Flynn was a favorite of both manger Joe Torre and the fans for a moribund franchise, and in 1980 became only the third player in team history to take home a Gold Glove for his work at second base. As always, you can listen or subscribe to this and all of our wonderful Amazin’ Avenue Audio podcasts through Apple Podcasts, where we encourage you to leave a review if you enjoy the show.

The World Series begins this week. The St. Louis Cardinals play the Boston Red Sox. These are by the records the two best teams in baseball.

Doug, as many of you remember, is a former major league baseball player. He played with the 5 teams from 1975 to 1985. Among them, the Cincinnati Reds when they won the World Series with the Big Red Machine in 1975 and 1976.

Once again my favorite Neuroscientist stopped over with her annual gift of scone. The beautiful and talented Kaitliyn Maria Filippini is a wonderful violin player as well as a multi-instrumentalist, artist, film composer, scientist, and as it happens, baker. Her career is taking off in big ways (some of which we can't even tell you at the moment), and I am happy to be able to share them with the audience as she is a great interview. We chat and play a couple of her compositions. Then later I enjoyed her scone. And yes I shared it with my intern Kendall. Opening song about and dedicated to our friend Doug Flynn. All true. He's a superhero. Kaitlyn online Opening song: "Doug Flynn" by Millions of Boys
