That’s about all off the top of my head. Ed Figueroa doesn’t really count, as he was the Yanks #2 starter for a couple of titles, yet hardly anyone remembers him clearly.

Good list, mate. Oscar Gamble’s fro was something else. And he also was on the Yanks two separate times as well. Also Mike Torrez is on my list.He won two games in the 77 World Series. I also thank him for his great job on the 78 Red Sox as well! Bucky Dent also thanks ‘im as well.

Funny about ED F, I feel Brian Doyle is in a similar category as well. He was on the team for three years, yet is almost never remembered.

i honestly don’t remember all that much from ’92. 1993 was the first season I can recall from memory with any accuracy. I was really young at in 1992 (6) and it was when I first started watching baseball…I just remember loving melido perez, hating pat kelly…and attending my first baseball game, which was unfortunately a met game. (My cousin who took me was a met fan…i say was cause she broke up with the boyfriend who was a met fan and she stopped watching) I did manage to get Howard Johnson’s personalized autograph on a photo of him, which back in the day for me was quite the thrill (would have been no matter who’s autograph it was).

Melido rocked in 92: http://waswatching.com/2005/11/01/melido-perez-1992/

@ Corey:
@ Raf:
We all share a love of Melido Perez. Kinda funny to me for some reason.

@ Raf:
ah…Melido Perez…ya know, in ’92 when i first started watching baseball as a tot, he was my first favorite pitcher.

IIRC, a thumb injury scotched Caludell’s season in 1990… Yet something else that went wrong that year.

I lean towards guys like Melido Perez, Scott Sanderson, Frank Tanana, Lee Smith, Joe Niekro, Joe Ausanio, Jeff Reardon

Steve, I don’t know if you remember this but we talked about Claudell back when you and I first met in 2007 at a Yanks/Red Sox game.
…

You sure you told me that? Or, maybe you mentioned it to the three drunk ‘tards who were sitting to the left of us?

I still do remember you saying something like “Oh, I really enjoy being touched by people I don’t know” when the drunks were being pulled away and the kids sitting to our right were razzing them…and the drunks tried to get past us and at the kids. I thought your sense of timing on that one was right on!

He pulled his (considerable) weight that year in the playoffs.

LOL
