HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

When he first came to Mets, team did not have a helmet that fit his head. The man has a large cranium! Did bat over .300 In his short stay. Has gone on to have a solid career as a manager.

Perhaps Bochy's most famous - or infamous - moment as a player came in the 1980 NLCS, Phillies vs. Astros. At the time, he was one of the Astros' catchers. Towards the end of Game Four, in a momentum-shifting play, Pete Rose did to him what he had done to Ray Fosse ten years earlier. In other words, BAM! By the way, starring for the Astros in that same NLCS was another future manager - Art Howe.

Reportedly, he has the largest hat size of any major leaguer. Don't know if this qualifies as a Bruce Bochy "memory", but it's right up there with the best of Bruce Bochy trivia.

It's pretty crazy to think we had THAT Bruce Bochy at one point, even if it was just briefly. The Bruce Bochy that's won five pennants and four World Series. The Bruce Bochy with nearly 2,100 managerial wins. The Bruce Bochy that's a surefire future Hall of Famer.
Honestly, I didn't even know he was a Met until I saw him on the all-time roster listed on this website. And he was pretty good, too, hitting .306/.358/.510 in his 49 ABs with the club!
I've sent him a couple autograph requests in my day, the first in 2017 and most recently in 2021, both through his home address, but he hasn't responded.
