Mets History: Timo Perez’s debut season with the 2000 squad

Timo Perez is a guy in New York Mets history we all know but probably think played a lot more than he actually did. Although he stuck around for four seasons, he amassed only 372 games for an average of just 93 over the course of his Mets career.

Perez was a guy I classified as a “cool” baseball player. He wasn’t big in an era when first basemen he tree trunks for forearms and the average shortstop could bench press a car. Perez was a slight-of-frame speedster who made his debut with the 2000 Mets.
