August 21, 2008 - the following former Mets are celebrating birthdays:
Felix Millan was a solid 2B, who is best know for wielding a heavy bat, and choked up to about two inches below the label. He was a solid contact hitter, who was always in the top 10 most difficult players to strike out.
John Stearns was a solid catcher, who had the job of replacing Jerry Grote as the Mets catcher. Stearns had a lot of ability, but never reached his potential due to a multitude of injuries.
Bruce Berenyi pitched for the Mets from 1984 – 1986. He was 12-8 with the Mets, but did not pitch for the World Championship 1986 Mets team. He was demoted to AAA Tidewater before the All Star break in 1986. His career was shortened due to shoulder problems, and didn’t play after the 1986 season with the NY Mets. He declared free agency after the 1986 season, and was signed to a minor league contract by the Montreal Expos. He pitched only three innings before having career ending shoulder surgery.
