Share your memories of Steve Bieser

HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

I totally forgot about Steve Bieser. I remember him being balked home by David Cone in the 8th inning, I think, of the third game between the Mets and the Yankees in '97. We lost it eventually, but he'll always get a special place in my heart for that. I thought he was good.

Yes, it was Steve Bieser who scored on David Cone's balk. But it was earlier in the game, maybe the seventh inning. I believe Cone had a no-hitter through five or six in that game, and he faced Rick Reed. But the Mets bullpen was wasted, so they had to use none other than phenom Juan Acevedo, who made his debut and actually pitched well. But it was Tino whose single won the game, in the bottom of the tenth off John Franco. Damn Yankees.

I never understood why this guy never played more in the majors.

He hit .240 or so with no power, like many backups, but he could play all three OF positions AND catcher, was a lefty batter, and was fast. He wasn't an emergency catcher, like McEwing, but had real minor league experience at catcher, and played a few times there for the Mets, in an Expos series, when Hundley was hurt.

How many lefty-batting backup catchers who can also play an adequate CF, and hit a little bit, are there?

30 year old rookies don't usually stay around that long. Gotta give him credit for never giving up though.

He was a feisty utility guy. Of course, the events that led to him being balked home in that Yankee are just as memorable as the actual balk itself. I think he faked a break for home two or three times. Someone can help me out on this one, but didn't crybaby Torre argue the call?

The great thing about everyone who played/managed for the Mets has at least one moment he is remembered for. Steve Bieser's baserunning mind games in that Yankee game is one of many great examples.

All of what's been posted is true, but there's one more thing about Steve Bieser that should be remembered. His career with the Mets began and ended in 1997, which was three years after so many New Yorkers decided that "Now I can die in peace." But there were still plenty of Rangers fans attending Mets games in those days, and Mess and Gretz had just taken them to the conference finals. So, whenever Mr. Bieser would do anything positive (granted, that was relatively rare), he was greeted with chants of "Beezer, Beezer!!"

Total throwaway memory from a throwaway season, but it was fun if you were there.

Like everyone else the only memory of Steve is his scoring on balk by Cone against the Yankees.
