Opening Day for the New York Mets is just 22 days away. The Mets will
open up their 2009 season against the Cincinnati Reds. I will post an
image of a jersey that will correspond with the number of days
remaining until Opening Day. Since there are 22 more days until Opening
Day, today, we will go with Ray Knight. Knight beat out Michael Tucker, Kevin McReynolds and Jose Valentin for today's countdown.
