The most inexplicable player in that line up to me was Stevie Henderson. Thought he had All Star potential but it never materialized. Great tools. I never remember him being injured but he never panned out. Was sort of like he just couldn't escape the bad juju of the Seaver trade.

Seaver was traded for Henderson, Doug Flynn, Pat Zachery and WHO??? Outfielder who went no where fast.

Dan Norman.

Steve Henderson had a great half season when he was first called but as you said never panned out.

I have game used jerseys from 2 of the players in the Seaver trade (Pat Zachry and Dan Norman)

Dan Norman. Correct. Never did a damm thing.

Neil Allen started the game and got the loss. Glad he salvaged his career as a relief pitcher. Had good stuff and has been a successful pitching coach.

Richie Hebner. What a bust. That lineup brings back some bad memories.

Joel Youngblood supposedly had one of the greatest outfield arms ever. At least according to the Mets announcers.
