Ross Jones #169

 




This week, a guy who had one hit for the Mets, but that one hit led to guest Mark Simon suggesting this card...it's Ross Jones! Jones was a Dodgers first round pick out of Miami, but he was stuck in the minors before a trade with Sid Fernandez to the Mets. He was called up in 1984 and got 1 hit that season, a walk-off double witnessed by a young Mark Simon! Mark joined us to talk about that moment and Ross Jones' 67 game MLB career and second career in film. Mark also told us about his 1986 Mets rewatch newsletter!

Topics: Mike Jones phone #, Hobbits and Avatars, 1986 Mets Rewatch
