Here’s a subjective rating of the highest 5 for Jan. 19.
1) Jon Matlack (1950) The Mets have had two absolute golden seasons: 1969 and 1986. Matlack confirmed up two years after the previous and retired three years earlier than the latter (although he was pitching for Texas by then). No matter: After successful a Rookie of the Year Award, notching three All-Star berths and serving to the Mets attain the 1973 World Series, his place in crew historical past stays fairly distinguished.
Matlack was forward of his time as a textbook instance of win-loss file not essentially reflecting a pitcher’s caliber. Matlack’s file in 13 seasons within the bigs was 125-126, although his profession ERA was an outstanding 3.18. He solely pitched within the postseason as soon as, however posted a sterling 1.40 ERA in 4 begins.
Today’s 4 honorees (left to proper): Al Jackson’s son, Reggie; Jon Matlack; Ron Darling; and Edgardo Alfonzo.

The Mets’ hallmark has at all times been their beginning pitching: They have a historical past of among the best arms the game has to supply. Matlack will get overshadowed by a few of these bold-faced names, however his 39.4 WAR ranks him seventh amongst pitchers in crew historical past, a hair behind Sid Fernandez and Al Leiter, which is not a horrible place to be. He wasn’t Seaver, Koosman, Gooden or deGrom, for sure — however actual Mets followers know he is an necessary a part of the crew’s material.
2) Chris Sabo (1962) If you collected baseball playing cards within the late 80’s/early 90’s, there was a great probability you have been drawn to Sabo, a great participant with an excellent nickname (Spuds, after then-iconic Budweiser mascot Spuds Mackenzie) and a really distinctive look: a flat prime haircut and a pair of ubiquitous Rec Specs. As such, he was the inadvertent hero of numerous bespectacled elementary faculty athletes compelled to put on the identical.
Sabo, additionally a superb hockey participant as a child, flourished on the Michigan baseball crew, which completed third within the 1983 College World Series. (In a harbinger, he shared an infield with future Reds teammate Barry Larkin.) Drafted by Cincinnati, he made the 1988 crew purely on grit and was a sensation, stealing 42 bases, making the NL All-Star crew and successful Rookie of the Year.
Sabo’s excessive level got here in 1990-91: He was an All-Star each years, and he helped the Reds upset the A’s within the ’90 World Series. But his physique betrayed him: After a strong 1993 season, he by no means performed greater than 68 video games once more. He fittingly returned to the Reds for his closing season in 1996.
In 2018, Sabo was employed as the pinnacle coach to revive the Akron University baseball crew, which had been eradicated three years earlier, and served in that position by way of the top of the 2022 season. He stays a candy reminiscence for anybody who nonetheless has a binder of their basement filled with his playing cards.
3) Jim Morris (1964) OK, cease us in the event you’ve heard this one. A promising younger pitcher obtained drafted by a Major League crew, however his arm went and he maxed out on the Class A stage. It occurs. So he settled down along with his household in Texas, turned a science instructor and coached some baseball on the aspect.
Meanwhile, he obtained wholesome and his arm nonetheless had some lightning left. So he ended up chopping a cope with his highschool gamers: If they gained the district championship, which they’d by no means completed, he’d check out for an MLB crew. Sure sufficient, they did simply that.
The instructor went to a tryout with the Rays and to everybody’s amazement, together with his personal, he hit 98 mph 12 instances in a row. The crew supplied him a contract, and he went from Double-A to Triple-A to the Majors, the place he struck out his first MLB batter at age 35.
If that feels like a Disney film, properly, it was one. And although Morris’ time within the Majors did not final lengthy, he is loved a pleasant post-baseball profession as a motivational speaker with a terrific story to inform.
4) Phil Nevin (1971) Nevin overcame a number of childhood afflictions — bronchial asthma and an allergy to grass (!) — to grow to be a star scholastic athlete, excelling at baseball and as a kicker on the soccer crew. (He drilled a 57-yard discipline aim in highschool.) He continued enjoying each sports activities in school to nice impact; he was first-team all-conference at Cal-State Fullerton as a kicker, and led the baseball crew to the championship sport of the College World Series.
Nevin selected baseball, a great transfer; he was picked first total within the 1992 Draft by the Astros, and starred that summer season for Team USA within the Barcelona Olympics. But he would not discover MLB success till seven years later for the Padres, his fourth crew. Nevin maxed out with 41 homers in 2001, his lone All-Star season. His son, Tyler, has adopted in his footsteps.
Nevin was retired by 2006, transitioning into roles as an analyst and a coach. In 2022, he was named interim supervisor of the Angels after Joe Maddon was dismissed, then signed a one-year contract to remain within the position for 2023.
5) Byung-Hyun Kim (1979) It appears unfair to be extra identified to your failures than your successes — neither have been insignificant — however that is the case with Kim. The South Korea native was an All-Star nearer for the D-backs and anchored the bullpen for his or her World Series crew in 2001. But he additionally gave up completely crushing residence runs in each Games 4 and 5, together with the long-lasting Mr. November homer hit by Derek Jeter. (Less memorable however nonetheless notable, he surrendered Barry Bonds’ 715th residence run, breaking a tie with Babe Ruth for second all-time.)
Kim pitched within the Majors till 2014, earlier than bouncing world wide a bit. He final pitched in Australia in 2019.
