I'm watching Mike Piazza's Mets debut on SNY right now and all I wonder is what if Todd Hundley didn't hurt his elbow? Would the Mets have made that bold trade to bring Piazza to New York. I wonder what the fate of the franchise would have been had Hundley stayed healthy? Think how bold it was replacing arguably your best and most popular player mid-season.
Hundley was traded after the season and brought much maligned, though effective, closer Armando Benitez and Roger Cedeno (the first time when he was good).
Isn't it weird that Olerud was the clean up hitter in the lineup before Piazza got there. Mike batted third that day, and grounded out to future Met Jose Valentin at short.
