Veryzer competed with Ron Gardenhire and Bob Bailor for the Mets' starting shortstop job in Spring training 1982.

During Spring training 1983, he was dealt to the Chicago Cubs for two minor league pitchers.

Famous quotes containing the word york:
“Reading any collection of a man’s quotations is like eating the ingredients that go into a stew instead of cooking them together in the pot. You eat all the carrots, then all the potatoes, then the meat. You won’t go away hungry, but it’s not quite satisfying. Only a biography, or autobiography, gives you the hot meal.”
—Christopher Buckley, U.S. author. A review of three books of quotations from Newt Gingrich. “Newtie’s Greatest Hits,” The New York Times Book Review (March 12, 1995)
