2011 TOPPS DIAMOND DILLON GEE
After my previous Mets misadventures with the new Topps set, I resolved to give it another go.
And my luck improved– I pulled this sparkly, shiny, spangly card of Dillon Gee.
It was so shiny, sparkly, and spangly that I could only say one thing upon pulling it: “Gee.”
You know, there’s a good chance that Dillon Gee might one day end up on my top 20 list of all-time favorite Mets’ player names.
Dude’s an interjection, after all. A mild one sure, but an interjection nonetheless.
Here’s my list as it stands now:
20. Harry Parker
19. Pumpsie Green
18. Royce Ring
17. Esix Snead
16. Jerry Cram
15. Skip Lockwood
14. Benny Ayala
13. Tobi Stoner
12. Brent Strom
11. Don Hahn
10. Mookie Wilson
9. Duffy Dyer
8. Choo Choo Coleman

Great idea – I think you should consider these:
Howard Johnson – named after a restaurant/hotel chain
Angel Pagan – everyone’s favorite rep of both sides
Kaz Ishii – the guy’s name is a sneeze
