It was a comeback year for the popular Post player affectionately known as Johnny Bananas. In limited duty, Johnny hit an astounding .417 with 4 runs scored and 3 rbis.
Acquired in a 2001 deal with Liber's Green, Merendo
signed a 5 year contract after playing out his option. Among his many perks is
a personal parking spot at the Post, his own bar stool with the label "Stud Muffin"
on the cover, and a remote for the 42" TV.
