All,
In recent years, many of the 86 METS have returned to the team as special instructors during Spring Training, including Darryl Strawberry, Keith Hernandez, etc.
In some cases, the former player was given his original uniform number. For example, Darryl Strawberry wore #18. In other cases, they took a different number - one usually given to a non-roster invitee. For example, I have a 2003 game used BP jersey of former catcher John Stearns. The number on it is "83." I also have a 2005 game used BP of Howard Johnson. The number on that one is equally strange... 88.
I know Sid Fernandez has made some appearances in Port St. Lucie as a special instructor in recent years. I cannot find any more information other than that he was there. Would anyone know what uniform number he might have worn or where I would be able to go to get such information?
Many thanks,
Nick
