MARV THRONBERRY METS QUOTE OF THE DAY

There were few players in the history of the Mets that most symbolized their futility than 'Marvelous' Marv Thronberry. There were a lot worse players than Thronberry but he seemed to really capture the undivided attention of Mets Manager Casey Stengel. Also, he did some pretty stupid things over his career that made him worthy of his nickname.

Though it is not technically a Mets Birthday Quote of the Day since it is not his birthday, I wanted to include this while on break from the birthday's of any big name Mets players (though Lenny Randle was born today who did hit .304 for the Mets in 1977 with 583 at bats.

Happy Marv Thronberry Quote Day,

"We were going to get a birthday cake, but we figured you'd drop it."
--Casey Stengel, on Marv Thronberry's birthday
