Bart Shirley, a Met for 6 games in 1967, died on Tuesday in Corpus Christi, Tex., at age 85.

Obviously I never heard of him, but was curious, from a local CBS affiliate


He played with the Dodgers and Mets for parts of four seasons. Shirley then worked with the MLB Players' Association to try and get his lifetime pension after the league changed the policy in 1980, but ultimately was not made retroactive to former players.


Shirley was recognized by the Corpus Christi Hooks with the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009 and he also served as a longtime usher at Whataburger Field.


He was 85-years-old.
