#54T Jeff Innis
IMPACT FACTOR 3/10:Innis was very effective for the Mets in 1991 and 1992 (as well as pitching well in limited innings in 1987-1990) and left as a free agent after 1993, although he never appeared in the majors with another team.
jeff innis holds an obscure record, i believe. his 69 games pitched without a start, win or save is a record for the most games without coming up on the positive side of the scorebook. i am not sure how to look up if this is still true...
Terry Ryan went on to become GM of the Twins until this year.
ReplyDeletei just pulled 3 jeff innis cards in a 92 fleer box, kinda cool seeing his rookie card here

ReplyDeleteAmazingly, that record was held until this year when it was broken by Cla Meredith of the Padres:

Innis gave up Michael Jordan's first hit in Spring Training in 1994. I always liked the guy when he was on the Mets. Sidearmers are fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteawesome, now i know - and as we all know, knowing is half the battle...
