:-) Another one of the few players that never played with any other MLB team. He is 9th on the list of games played (340) with the Mets of those players that never played elsewhere. I have no memories of him playing - he was gone before I started following.
I’m dating myself, but on the Mets video (that I wore out on VHS watching so many times) An Amazin Era on the 25th anniversary of the club, there was a song about all the 3B-men on the team. I always think of Rod Kanehl. The line was “look at Dan Napoleon, and you might notice. The last name and first name is like Amos Otis, like Ed Charles Frank Thomas Charley Neal or Kevin Mitchell but NOT ROD KANEHL.” My 10 y/o self thought that was HILARIOUS.
