HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

I'll never forget that Chico hit a homer in his last at-bat in the bottom of the 8th inning to give the Mets the lead in the last game of the season. What a horrible season the Mets had that year. Anyway it was his last at bat in the majors.

If you see Chico Walker's name on anybody's roster you know they are a bunch of losers. I don't beleive Chico ever played for a good team. He actually had a good year for the Mets in 92 but went back to his true form in 93, the worst season in Mets history in my opinion.

Awful player whose major league career was marked by ineptitude and incompetence. I believe Garrett Morris had a more successful career as Chico Escuella. Baseball has been berry-berry good to both of them.

I remember listening to a game on the radio in which Chico botched a grounder to let in a couple of runs. Bob Murphy, in a tone of resignation and possibly just the slightest hint of disgust, intoned, "Chico's lack of fielding proficiency has cost the Mets again." My teenage son, who didn't really follow baseball but who appreciated the Murph, commented, "I guess that's his way of saying 'Chico sucks'".

In fact it may have been the most negative comment I ever heard Murph make about a Met.

If I remember correctly, Chico Walker made the last out in the Darryl Kile no-hitter.

Does anyone else remember back in the dog days of 93 when Mike Breen on the Imus show used to do a recurring bit where the Mets would lose and he'd play a clip of Chico saying "Today just wasn't the Mets day." Who knew when the clip was actually from, but Breeny would play it after just about every loss, which was quite often. I'm pretty sure he kept on playing it even after Chico was long gone.

Every time we lose a bad one, I do think of that.
