How many of you played the Tommie Agee trivia challenge two days ago? Well, it is time to see how well you know the Mets all-time great center fielder, Tommie Agee.
1) Tommie Agee was born in the state of Alabama
2) He made his brief major league debut in 1962 with the Cleveland Indians
3) The prestigious award Tommie Agee won in 1969 was the Comeback Player of the Year Award
4) The White Sox traded Tommie Agee to the Mets for Tommy Davis and Jack Fisher.
5) The other player in the deal for the Mets turned out to be future World Series hero, Al Weiss
6) Tommie Agee went to high school with fellow Met great Cleon Jones. What are the odds that they would be playing in the same major league outfield together?
7) After he retired, Agee operated a bar near Shea Stadium. The name of the bar was 'Outfielder's Lounge
8) The two player Agee made his famous catches off of in Game 3 of the 1969 World Series were Elrod Hendricks and Paul Blair
9) The total number of players left on base after those catches was five.
10) When Agee won the American League rookie of the year award in 1966, the third place finisher would play a major role in future Met teams. This third place finisher was Dave Johnson.
Congratulations for playing the Tommie Agee trivia game.
