At the All Star Break
My '62 Mets are 31-58 and in last place, 4 games behind the Cubs and 6 behind the Colts, the other expansion team. We just need 9 wins in this second half to eclipse the real '62 Mets!
I got rid of Jay Hook along with minor leaguers Sherman Jones and Larry Foss for an unhappy Jerry Lynch and Cookie Rojas.
My primary lineup:
Richie Ashburn RF
Jerry Lynch LF
Felix Mantilla SS
Jim Hickman CF
George Banks 3B
Frank Thomas 1B
Charlie Neal 2B
Choo Choo Coleman C
Starting rotation:
Al Jackson (7-7)
Bob Miller (6-11)
Roger Craig (4-10)
Billy Pierce (8-8)
My closer, the bespectacled Claude Raymond, is 2-0 with 15 saves and a 0.73 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 24.2 innings.
