If he was healthier, I wouldn’t mind if he moved to 1B or LF.

And, he’d probably laugh . . . then do his damndest to hit one out. And if he did, I’d want to high-five the guy, because he played the game the right way.

Another question for us–if he said, “I’d like to play my last year as a Met,” how many of you would want him? I think that his presence on the bench alone would inspire Reyes to play with a maturity that would stun us (not having temper tantrums). Also, I think that David Wright would welcome him–then ask him to take a 1B glove.

I’d seriously lead the standing O at his last game at Shea. I’ve loved to hate him and he’s earned my respect by playing the game the right way.

I just would never let him know that until the last possible second at Shea Stadium. And…it’d be followed by a Larry chant if he acknowledged the stading O.

Question to everyone.

If you knew Chipper would retire at the end of the season, would you give Chipper a standing ovation in his last AB here in NY?

I’d rather have a good player like Jones play well against the Mets than some clown like Pat Burrell.

say what you will about Larry, the reason you hate him is that he delivered time and again in the biggest spots when the two teams were battling it out from 1997 through 2001.

Unlike a lot of players from his generation, while I might not like him, I have the utmost respect for his game.
