    1987 was I think Tom Lawless. Don't remember '89. Chris Brown?

    Lawless is correct. The '89 guy was even more obscure.

    E is incorrect. Jack Murphy is still standing, I think. I'll try 83, Orioles/Phillies.

    Indeed. 1979.

    This is pretty easy, but...name the first (and perhaps only) player to play for all four teams that have, at one point or another, called New York home.

    OK,

    I admit some cheating in one answer unearthed another.

    I was curious about the winning Yankee pitcher in the 1976 game. Looked it up, it was Dick Tidrow. Now, I didn't look at his history, but remembered him pitching for the Yankees, White Sox and Cubs. Baseball-reference confirms: His last team was the Mets.

    Same answer to two different questions, Corky. Tricky.

    Wrong on Wayne Garrett? I thought he led off the first game with a single. Hmmmmm.

    EDIT: Ah, I know where I went wrong. Garrett led off the NLCS with a single. It was actually Willie Mays, batting third and playing CF, who got the Mets' first hit of the WS. :)
