the stats: 25 HR, 33 SB, 158 RBIs... pretty solid numbers...
now granted, these numbers are over 9 seasons and 1,767 at bats, but can anyone deny the value and importance of the impact Joseph Earl McEwing (Super Joe) left on the game of baseball?
his career average of .251 is way higher than that of Hall of Famer Babe Ruth (1935 season .181 Avg). his 25 Home Runs... more than Sandy Koufax, Nolan Ryan and Cy Young combined (24 HRs), and they all happen to be in the Hall.
some other notable stats:
- played every position on the field (except pitcher) throughout his major league career.
- has the longest streak of errorless games at 227 (some naysayer may say that this is only due to the fact that he played 1 to 2 innings in most of those games... feh').
- 25-game hitting streak (fifth longest by a rookie).
- fun fact - although known as "Super Joe" by his fans, he actually did not wear a cape while playing, but was known to wear one in the locker room, durring press conferences and in the shower.
super joe highlights:
- executes perfect sacrifice bunt in 9-2 Mets win over the Expos (July of 2000).
- catches foul pop-up vs Pirates (August of 1998).
- almost runs out ground ball to the second baseman vs Braves (May of 2001).
- traded to Mets for (1983 & 84) All Star Jesse Orosco in March of 2000.
the following is a Joe McEwing tribute/highlight video. just try to hold back the tears as those magical McEwing memories are shown before your eyes (in technicolor)...
Hall of Famer? You decide.

it's pretty clear that the skinny bastahd wasnt juicing.
id say he's the poster boy for hard work and a good attitude. he's got my vote.
its true. i think its a disgrace how all these steroid abusers get their inflated numbers. just imagine if super joe was able to afford some of that primo HGH, he could've been the next scott brosius. he woulda been super duper joe.

That picture of the Mets celebrating was from 2006. McEwing last played for the Mets in 2004, which is a shame. If he was on the 2006 Mets, they would have won the World Series.
what a sham!
FYI..Joe is the now the batting coach for the AAA WhiteSox. Wouldn't be shocking if he was coaching in the bigs within a few years.
So - the irony of your blog is...McEwing might wind up in the hall of fame as a coach one day.
Joe took a piss next to me at Mets fantasy camp last month.
He didn't realize I was joking when I asked if I could get a picture with him.
Sense of humor not HOF caliber.
I met Joe McEwing on two seperate occasions while off the field. I must admit he was a gentleman both on and off the field.
He was a team player with alot of heart and he definitely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.
Calling him "Super Joe" was a modest description of Joe McEwing
I say that Joe McEwing should become the next Chuck Norris:
Joe McEwing doesn't sleep with the lights on because he's afraid of the dark. The dark is afraid of Joe McEwing
