Re: Mets Lockers
Hi Todd,
Thanks for the kind words.
We determined who used which Shea lockers by interviewing players from the 60s, 70s and 80s (some interviewed in the locker room itself), interviewing long time Mets equipment manager Charlie Samuels, interviewing visiting and home locker room staffers, and interviewing sportswriters from the 60s-present.
We took that information, and also compared it to photos and video in which lockers with nameplates were visible. That's how we were able to conclusively determine who used which lockers.
Where we were not able to conclusively determine, we did not list that player in that locker. We were not able to prove which locker Kingman used during his second stint, so we only identified his first locker, the one he used in the '70s.
Hope this explains,
Barry
