I was going to post this in the Arts & Literature forum, but since it's relegated to only Mets, I figure it'll be better served here.
I'm sure several other folks have already seen this episode, but last night was the first time I'd seen it (which is odd, because I thought I'd seen every episode of Everybody Loves Raymond).
The episode is called "Big Shots" and features several '69 Mets (many of whom were still around in '73) portraying themselves, primarily at an autograph signing. "Big Shots" was part of the third season of the show, originally aired Mar 1, 1999.
The featured guest Mets were, alphabetically by first name, Art Shamsky, Bud Harrelson, Ed Kranepool, Jerry Grote, Ron Swoboda, Tommie Agee, and Tug McGraw. McGraw, in fact, had a relatively substantial speaking role.
Now, anyone familiar with the show knows that Ray's brother Robert named his pet Shamsky -- which kinda gives a Mets theme throughout the series -- but I'd never seen this episode before last night. The cherry on the sundae was at the end of the episode, when Ray and Robert were driving home while singing "Meet The Mets."
Some minor info...
