Trivia Friday – Most Opening Day Starts
With Noah Syndergaard slated to go on Monday, this marks the sixth straight year the Mets have had a different Opening Day starter. Jon Niese, Dillon Gee, Bartolo Colon, and Matt Harvey each got a turn, but they never got the opportunity to be the Opening Day starter in a subsequent season. Hopefully with Syndergaard, this year begins a long run of Opening Day starts for a pitcher that is on threshold of being an all time great.
If Syndergaard does that, he will join nine other Mets pitchers who have made multiple Opening Day starts. Can you name them? Good luck!
