Tommie Agee was one of the all-time great Met Center fielders. How well do you know his career? Play Tommie Agee trivia and find out. Answers will be posted tomorrow (no cheating)

Tommie Agee conjures up wonderful memories from my childhood. Much like we all thought growing up in suburban New York that we were the next Walt Frazier, many of us who played center field as kids thought we would be the next Tommie Agee. Unfortunately, my dreams of being the Mets center fielder were dashed by my inability to hit, field or throw. Other than that, I had a real shot.
