THE ANSWER IS...

First, Happy New Year!




Yesterday's question was: Besides “X,” what’s the only other letter in the alphabet no Mets player’s surname has ever begun with?

The correct answer is “Q.”

The only other close contenders are “U” – just two Mets have had surnames begin with that letter and “I,” which has had only three Mets have it to begin their last names. The Mets have had only one player, Xavier Nady, whose name began with the letter “X.”
