The Yankees go out and sign Mark Teixeira.
The team you root for has a counter move in mind- Andruw Jones.
Same old Mets, eh?
But look at it this way, at least you can taunt the Yankee fan you know that if you're gonna go get a player making $18 million+ a year, you have this advantage:
Andruw Jones: 6 career walk-off home runs
Mark Teixeira: 0 career walk-off home runs
There's another issue in play here, and though it's 10 years in the past, I think it's best to avoid it until we're beyond the rumor-mill stage.
As my father said: " I dont want to be reminded of it 160 games a year."
* The truly Jonesing Mets fan knows that there are 4 surnames which have had multiple Mets with walk-off RBI.
Castillo-- Alberto and Luis
Hodges-- Gil and Ron
Johnson-- Bob, Howard, and Lance
Jones-- Cleon, Chris, and Ross
So a walk-off RBI by Andruw Jones, the Met, would give the name Jones four different players with a walk-off RBI, the most among any surname.
