I came across this jersey being auctioned by Mets/Steiner at the Mets site. It's a game used HoJo jersey... but it's a 2005 white alternate!
Upon seeing it, I thought I might have slept through half of the 2005 season, because I can't for the life of me recall HoJo coaching the NY Mets. He's been a fixture in their Minor League organizations from Brooklyn to Norfolk.
I have 'googled' his name and have come up with nothing regarding him coaching for the Mets last year -- in fact I found an extensive minor league coaching history that extends into 2006. I have searched a couple of baseball sites who provide the full list of coaches per team by year, and again, no HoJo in any of the lists (I'm sure I can continue to dig for info, but I don't have any more time to waste today).
Here's the link to the jersey:

Anyone out there know anything about this one?
