Next, we talk about the trades that happened across baseball and take a moment to acknowledge the death of broadcasting icon Vin Scully.

Finally, we wrap things up with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

Show notes

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.

Ray Sadecki made his MLB debut at the tender age of 19 for the Cardinals. A key member of the rotation for their 1964 team, he eventually fell out of favor in St Louis .

Sadecki spent a couple of years it’s the Giants before joining the Mets in 1970, ion the heels of their stunning World Championship .

UnforMETable, Episode 89: Jose Lima Jul 26, 2022

Show notes

Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.

In a career marked by a few high peaks and some very deep valleys, Jose Lima carved an indelible swath into baseball’s consciousness.

After struggling with the Tigers, the flamboyant Lima became a star in Houston, promoting his starts as ‘‘Lima Time” as he danced his way to an All Star season in 1999.

Lima fell back to earth and scuffled for several years before a renaissance season for the Dodgers in 2004. Signed as veteran rotation insurance for the Mets in 2006, Lima made the final four starts of his career in New York
