Welcome to UnforMETable, an Amazin’ Avenue Audio show that looks back on less heralded, more obscure Mets players from the past.

After some glories in the 80s, the Mets bottomed out in 1992 and 1993, suffering incredibly disappointing seasons. With Generation K still in the minors, there didn’t seem to be much to get excited about an underachieving veteran team.

Then in midseason, the unheralded Rico Brogna came up from the minors for an injured David Segui and started hitting. And kept hitting. Until seemingly only an MLB strike could stop him.

As always, you can listen or subscribe to this and all of our wonderful Amazin’ Avenue Audio podcasts through Apple Podcasts, where we encourage you to leave a review if you enjoy the show. It really helps! And you can find us on the Stitcher app, or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

If you’ve got an idea for a player to be featured on UnforMETable, let us know in the comments.
