Not only was he a gutsy player, who worked hard and a posessed a driving desire to win, but he was also a nice to be around. The game would do well to have more players like him, I played with Ron in SF in 1969-70. he was the type of player you want on your team.

Thanks for stopping by and for mentioning grittiness in your blog post. Regarding the '86 Mets, what I'm actually saying is that they had negative grit (insofar as GRIT3 is an accurate estimator of "grittiness"). By our measurement, none of the three players you listed had a GRIT3 in the black for the season. Kevin Mitchell came reasonably close with a -2.19, Nails scored a-3.64, and Hernandez a -4.22. Other non-gritty Mets: Howard Johnson (-5.82), Mookie Wilson (-7.00), Gary Carter (-10.85), and Darryil Strawberry (-17.99). Only two of the '86 Mets actually registered GRIT3 scores above 1.00: Tim Teufel (2.22) and Wally Backman (5.67). That's not necessarily an indictment of the team as most teams tend to have negative grit on the whole. Oddly enough, the Red Sox -- who memorably challenged the Mets in the '86 Series -- had the second-highest total of GRIT3. This was largely due to Don Baylor's league-leading total of 21.94 although Marty Barrett chipped in a very gritty 13.82 -- the fifth highest total in the MLB behind Baylor, Robby Thompson (14.97), Brett Butler (14.90), and Brian Downing (14.19). For a primer on how GRIT3 is calculated, I'd recommend checking out this article (http://pseubermetrics.com/wp/?p=30) which describes the basic logic. It also includes some formulas/statistics which have since been updated, but they should give you a general idea. Thanks again for stopping by. No problem, Sam.

I have to say I'm pleased to see people are reading Crabapple. However, you lost me with some of your grit statistics. Are you really saying the 1986 team had no grit? Do you not remember guys like Kevin Mitchell, Lenny Dykstra, & Keith Hernandez? Maybe our definitions of grit are different. I suppose grit could vary. Whatever. This season is lost for the Mets & the Cubs. Again the douchebags from the Bronx are riding high and their fans are smug, and for once I just don't care. My team has disappointed me, as I'm sure yours has too for you. Better luck next year! Thanks for the link, CG! I have to say I’m pleased to see people are reading Crabapple.
