Someone could write a book on the most random New York Mets in franchise history. In fact, I’m sure someone already has.
Even in recent years, there have been some talented ballplayers whose time in Flushing fell through the cracks. You never hear or see them mentioned anywhere. Hisanori Takahashi is one of those guys.
In his one year with the Amazins back in 2010, Takahashi put together a solid season on the mound. The Japanese import made 12 starts and 41 relief appearances, mustering up a 10-6 record with a 3.61 ERA and 8 saves over 122 innings of work.
