Just saw this on FB, no other details.

I cannot find any details anywhere, but official Mets social media channels are reporting the passing of Butch Huskey, corner infielder/outfielder with the team from 1993 to 1998, at just 54 years old.

I saw that too and came here to see if there were more details since I can't seem to find any.

RIP  😞

In Verse Three of "Moby Octapad," Met-loving weirdos Yo La Tengo sing:

Eight o'clock, the lights are on at Shea
Phone turned down, we've nothing much to say
Dozing off, the TV drones
Huskey makes the turn and heads for home

Here's hoping Butch makes it all the way home.  Thanks for all the baseball.

Batty's back!

Huskey was one of those guys who I was SUPER excited about coming up in the early 90s. He was actually very good here.

Seawolf is back! I've been asking Edgward about you for years!  

I remember Butch fondly. One of my favs from the early 90's teams.
