- Matt Chico. "The previous pitching coaches messed with his stride. We've fixed it. This year you'll see a new Matt Chico".
- Garret Mock
- Mike Backsik "who threw the pitch that Barry Binds on roids hit to break Hank Aaron's HR record"
- Austin "oops" Kearns. Shivered in Shea the night somebody hit a line-drive square over Kearns's head. Kearns didn't move until he jumped at the last moment; ball hit the warning track. Mets scored the winning runs. (Not to mention the collision...)
