Any man who becomes a New York police officer gets my respect.

I must say, he's got to be unique...maybe the only former major leaguer who became a member of New York's Finest. That takes a lot of courage. I hope he's doing okay.

Does Stan still live in Co-Op city? I too played for the Bronx Angels back in 1999, way after Stan's time. But it's always cool to see a guy who played for your team who made it. If you are reading this Stan, good luck in all your endeavours.

Stan is doing great. He is still living in New York City and he loves his job. Although he loved playing baseball his true love is working with people. I am so happy people still love and remember him.

Can't see how he can be called a miss. He didn't pan out the way we hoped, that's all. He's not the first and won't be the last. Keith Hernandez said he homered for the Mets in the game after they clinched in '86. That's a local kid making good! Now I understand he's one of the New York Finest! Again, a local kid makes good! Thank you Stan, good look in life!

Wow, like myself, I guess a lot of people in the N.Y. area read of how Stan has fallen on tough times! Stan, don't give up! Don't give in! Keep fighting and find the help you need to move on! We are all behind you! Good luck!

Hi,

My name is David Andino. I played with and against Stan during our Little League and High School Years. Stan recruited me to Bethune Cookman College in Daytona Beach, FL. We was good friends. I haven't heard anything about him in years and when I searched for him on-line, I run into the Daily News Article.... I am stunned!!!

I am currently in Law Enforcement for the US Department of Justice and I will be attempting to stop and see him. We clicked very well. When I was in the Navy and Stationed in Norfolk, VA. I got a chance to see him and Mookie Wilson play for Tidewater.

Stan was a complete player. Very fast. I wish him well and hope his family can contact me so I get to see him. I have a ton of photos of us and the gang when we played in Little League, High School and College.

Mike,

That game was played Saturday, September 20, 1986 (a few days after the Mets had clinched the East). The game was tied 3-3 in the bottom of the sixth when the Mets scored five runs, the last two coming on Jefferson's first major league home run. The Mets added one more in the eighth and then the Phils scored two in the ninth. The final was 9-5, Mets.

Mets catcher John Gibbons also had his first (and only) major league home run in that game.

With this Roger Clemens steroid issue coming to the forefront, it refreshed a very bad old memory of what a brutal unforgiving guy Roger really is. This dates back to a ballgame in 1989 in Cleveland. It was the Indians vs the Red Sox. Clemens was on the mound. The lead-off batter was Stan Jefferson, and I believe it was the first pitch that Clemens threw Jefferson, was a direct-hit 95 mph fastball that hit him in the head. I can still hear the crack of the ball hitting Stan's head. He was removed from the game, and lucky that he survived. I never heard from or about Stan after that. I understand he retired in 91 and became a NYPD cop that just happened to be stationed at the Trade Center on 9-11. Apparently Stan has suffered health problems from that fateful day. Poor guy! That's twice, that I know of, that he was at the wrong spot at the wrong time; once with Clemens, and the second, the terrorists!

Some call Stan Jefferson a bust. He played for six different major league teams. Spent years in “ The Show”. Is an ‘86 Met. I would call that a success. Think of how many kids pick up a bat and dream of playing in the majors.
