RIP... Yeah, that’s correct. Believe I read that he hit a home run during the ‘69 Series. I remember him that first year when the Mets played in the Polo Grounds. Marvelous Marv Throneberry and Choo Choo Coleman…and Casey Stengel was manager. 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roster was made up of every other team’s castoff oldster benchwarmers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
