The Mets "I Can't Believe They Started On Opening Day" team
Apologies to the folks at MetsGeek or FaithandFear if they'd already written this, but I knew it would aid in my quest...
C- Tim Spehr '98
1B- Mike Marshall '90
2B- Ricky Gutierrez '04
SS- Al Moran '63-64
3B- Bill Pecota '92
LF- Gene Clines '75
CF- Ryan Thompson '94
RF- Mike Howard '83
P- Randy Jones '82
True Metsomniacs know...The Mets have had walk-offs by both Billy's and Joel's. Billy Baldwin's only Mets home run was a walk-off home run against the Cubs on September 24, 1976. Joel Youngblood had three walk-off hits for the Mets, a single, a double, and a home run.

Randy Jones got the start because of snow pushing OD back. Bobby Jones got his first OD start because Dallas Green liked what he showed in the short spring training of '95. Those were pretty surprising, but Pete Harnisch and Mike Torrez get my votes.
