May 29, 201115 yr Just came across something that reminded me that the Mets had Tom Seaver throw out the final pitch at Shea Stadium to Mike Piazza at the end of the final game of 08... Do you think the Marlins might try something like this after the last game at Sun Life? And even if they dont, in a dream scenario... who might you guys like to see do this honor if it was actually done? I believe the Mets marketed theirs as their best pitcher ever throwing the final pitch to their best hitter ever, who just so happened to be a catcher. So, if the Fish did this, who gets the honors? Hough and Santiago? JJ to Conine? Beckett and Pudge? Livan and CJ?
May 29, 201115 yr The guy asks a legitimate question and these are the replys he gets?? Maybe Uncle Charlie to Santiago. I don't think Hough is coaching right now. Think he is an adviser someplace. And Bennie lives in the area. So both could be free to do it. It's not a bad idea either. They could both go out and tear down that final number, too.
May 29, 201115 yr I'd prefer Leo Nunez to John Buck to end the 2011 World Series.... But ceremonially, Hough to Santiago seems fitting.
May 29, 201115 yr Following up a World Series clinching strikeout with a ceremonial final pitch just seems a little anti-climactic. The Mets were able to plan that cus they - well, cus everyone and their mother - knew they were going nowhere fast. =)
May 29, 201115 yr Hough and Santiago, old school its going to be a sad day....all those memorires watching them on tv One of the biggest regular season memory that stands out for some reason is when pitcher Chris hammond got a home run, anyone else remember that?
May 29, 201115 yr They did Charlie to Santiago at the groundbreaking, so that wouldn't be ...well you know groundbreaking?!?! I like the Livan to CJ suggestion or maybe even Beckett to Pudge, the problem with those is three of those players are active. If we want to remember the 1993 team then you have Bryan Harvey throw out the first pitch or some combination with Niner and Sheff.
May 29, 201115 yr Author Hough and Santiago, old school its going to be a sad day....all those memorires watching them on tv One of the biggest regular season memory that stands out for some reason is when pitcher Chris hammond got a home run, anyone else remember that? Oh damn I do remember that Hammond homer! It was the first pitcher hitting a home run I ever saw and anytime a pitcher hits one now, thats the moment I always remember. Glad to see someone else remembers it. As for my original question, the humorous answers all made me laugh, especially Volstad to Morgan... and I think Hough to Santiago would be great but I do love the better idea of Leo to Buck to end the World Series. Lets do that one!
May 29, 201115 yr Chris Volstad to Nyjer Morgan. You know, just for the banter http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWDDXaZwSXY

May 30, 201115 yr your mom is getting increasingly worse...at throwing the final pitch at sun life!! GAAAAAAhahahahahaha

But then Harvey to 9er would work. Which brings up a totally off topic question....Where's "Little" Harvey at right now?

Kris is back in Jupiter this season after pitching all of last season in Jacksonville
May 31, 201115 yr One of the biggest regular season memory that stands out for some reason is when pitcher Chris hammond got a home run, anyone else remember that? He hit that right to my seat - except I had moved behind the plate because the game was dead. Should have kept my ass in my season tix seat.
