This guy wins for having the Most Awesome Name on the New Orleans Zephyrs in 2007.

You have to congratulate Robinson Cancel for his perseverance. Nine years after his last Major League game in 1999 he's back in the Bigs! Way to go, Mr. Cancel!

It's a little difficult for me to warm up to him because his name is similar to Robinson Cano.

Robinson Cancel's Mets highlight was on June 15, 2008 against the Rangers at Shea. In a 2-2 game he pinchhit and the 2 RBIs were enough for the Mets to win 4-2.
A good memory as he passes through.

I saw his first major league home run! My son predicted Mr. Cancel would hit a home run. My son didn't predict anyone else would, but Cancel's next at bat he got his first home run over the left field wall.

Cancel hadn't played in the majors since 1999 when the Mets gave him a shot in 2008. That's impressive.
He didn't do much with New York, but he did hit a single home run off Pirates pitcher Zach Duke on August 11, 2008.
He was part of a carousel of catchers the team used those years as they tried to figure out who exactly was going to be the starter. It was supposed to be Brian Schneider, but he was always hurt, so they used guys like Cancel, Ramon Castro, Gustavo Molina, Raul Casanova and Omir Santos ... then along came Josh Thole.
My personal memory of Cancel is he autographed an index card for me in-person at a Rochester Red Wings game while he was with the Mets' Triple-A affiliate, the Buffalo Bisons. It was sometime in the late 2000s. I recall his signature being total chicken scratch.
