Share your memories of Marlon Anderson
HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

Wow. A ninth-inning, game-tying, inside-the-park home run, the first inside-the-park home run at Shea since 1989. Are you kidding me? Since Anderson failed to win an everyday job in Philly, I didn't know what to expect from him when he came here. Marlon is proving to be a huge sparkplug off the bench.

Marlon's inside-the-park home run against the Angels a couple of weeks ago had just about everything except the University of California band running out on to the playing field and him taking out the trombone player!

For some reason, whenever I think of this guy or see him I call him Milt Thompson. I can't figure out why but half way through the season I'm still calling him Milt. Milt/Marlon has been a great pinch hitter, his inside the park homer was unbelievable. He tends to pop the ball up to left field a lot when he doesn't get a hit. He plays a decent 2nd base and I wouldn't mind seeing him take over for Matsui. Marlon is this year's Desi Relaford. Keep up the good work Milt!

That inside-the-park home run showed this guy had game. This is the best pinch hitter the Mets have had in a long time.

Man was I happy to see Omar pick this guy up when the Dodgers inexplicably let him go, but at the time that was just more out of fond memories of big hits in 05 and frustration with a lack of production from the bench. Already Marlon has exceeded all my expectations. He has been a big hit machine coming off the bench. He gets hits to start rallies, he caps them off with big homers (like against San Diego) and puts games away (like his bases loaded double against the Braves last week).Our bench was one of our biggest weaknesses going in and thanks to Marlon as an anchor, it's now one of our strengths. Now hopefully things will go our way and we'll have Marlon in the starting line up as DH for game one of the World Series. Hey, I can dream, can't I?

Marlon was great in 2005 and it was a mistake not brining him back in 2006. Good move bringing him back in 2007. But in 2008 he has been absolutely HORRIBLE. It's over. He's hitting .200, can't get a big hit to save his life and missed an easy ball in the outfield in Philly that thankfully did not lead to a run because Endy Chavez made a great catch in right to save Marlon. Hopefully when Alou comes back, Anderson is the one to go, instead of Tatis.

Marlon now works for MLB.com and I met him last month at the 2013 MLB Fan Fest. I got a picture with him, and would have had an autograph as well, but his right hand was in a cast after having surgery. He was a great pinch-hitter in 07!
