HAPPY BIRTHDAY BARRY JONES AND YOUR SHORT STRANGE METS CAREER

Mets pitcher Barry Jones was born on February 15, 1963. He played for a lot of teams over his career including the Pirates, White Sox, Expos and Phillies. His career record was 33 and 33 with a 3.66 ERA and 23 saves.

However, it is his brief Mets career that is most interesting. He pitched in 17 games for the Mets in 1992. In 15 innings, he had a very impressive 2-0 record and had a save. That's all great stuff and would sound wonderful on the surface but his ERA in the 17 games was 9.39. Talk about run support.

Today's Quote is a bad prediction about Barry Jones from Ray Miller.

"Someday he is going to be a great closer. He has the perfect attitude for it."
--Ray Miller, talking about Barry Jones
