Is there anything on earth like Opening Day baseball? It’s practically a National Holiday. When the New York Mets open each season, there’s often excitement for better days ahead.
Unfortunately, not all seasons get off to great starts. A reason for it is a lack of talent at certain positions.
Going back to the turn of the century, the Mets have had their share of bad players take the field in game one of the season. From position to position, these are the men I believe to be the worst; at least while with the Metropolitans.
This could really be a toss-up between Mike Pelfrey, Jon Niese, or Dillon Gee.
