Khalil Greene vs. Kevin Elster
In the bottom of the 7th, Khalil Greene made a fantastic play to rob Lastings Milledge of a base hit, just a few innings after Mets commentator and former big league pitcher Rob Darling asserted that Greene doesn't have the fielding skills of Kevin Elster. A quick comparison of stats shows that Greene and Elster actually have nearly identical range factors (per game - not inning, the preferred stat, because these stats are not available for Elster) and fielding percentages. Meanwhile, the Mets broadcast team touted Jose Reyes' fielding prowess. A look at his stats show that they are nearly identical to Greene and Elster... And who says there isn't an East Coast sports bias?
