Sad news tonight...the greatest defensive catcher in New York Mets history and one of the toughest players in the history of MLB -- #JerryGrote --has passed away. The starting catcher of both the #69Mets championship and #73Mets pennant-winning teams.
This is how a hitter should act after hitting a home run. Act like you've done it before. Los Angeles Dodgers #ShoheiOhtani showing nothing but class rounding the bases after his first LA dinger.
This New York Mets photo from the '80s perfectly shows the ever-exuberance of Gary Carter and the more reserved and intense keith Hernandez--his glance seemingly willing Kid to curb his enthusiasm a bit. Two great leaders, though oh-so-different. Gary Carter🧢 #86Mets
Up in Montreal so naturally paying respect to New York Mets Montreal Expos #TheKid by where Jarry Park once stood.
#BuddyHarrelson was New York Mets royalty and this is once again proof of how current ownership embraces the team's past. Awesome to see.
