The youngest ever among Met pitchers (and first Baby Boomer Met) preceded by one on the all-time roster the first-born among all Mets, 44-year-old Warren Spahn, the only Met to see light in 1921. In hindsight, our now 1,286-player annals had quite a run of debuts in the first weeks of ’65. 89. Ron Swoboda 90. Jim Bethke 91. Warren Spahn 92. Danny Napoleon 93. Tug McGraw 94. Yogi Berra

From Awful Announcing: This deal also means the Mets will reach 30 years with Channel 11, which seems incongruous relative to they’re having been on Channel 9 forever (37 years).

Next-day coverage of Jim Marshall’s reception at the Polo Grounds 1962 opener, when he was announced as playing in place of Gil Hodges.

Nice story. Untrue, but nice anyway. Hodges played the entire opener. Marshall pinch-hit in the 9th for Clem Labine. Home Opener, not Opening Night in St. Louis — Hodges was a late scratch and did not play; Marshall started, batted sixth and went 1-for-3 with a walk: https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYN/NYN196204130.shtml

The last of the absolutely Original Mets, those who played in orange and blue on the Eleventh of April, Nineteen Sixty-Two. “It was a special place, a special time,” he told Post+ in a story published online this past June when asked to remember New York’s reaction to that first team. “It was unlike anywhere else I had ever been. They treated us great. Everyone was so enthusiastic. I could never forget all that.” This from the guy they booed in the Home Opener for daring to fill in for an achy Gil Hodges.

He's No. 40. May it last on him longer than it did on Blade Tidwell.

Part of a large Met bullpen cohort to have performed better than Ryan Helsley.

Boyce Cedric Mullins will begin challenging for a spot soon.

Started the Mark Canha Game (lit up in his MLB debut) and Doc’s number retirement game (9 Ks in 6 IP). Inevitably the guy I’d forget was in the pen.

Janzen Blade Tidwell. The middle-first club is really having a “Memories of” moment.

Bill Denehy, our 1967 pitcher whose name endures among Mets fans thanks to who he shared a rookie card with (Tom Seaver) and the manager he helped bring back in trade (Gil Hodges), died on June 27 at the age of 79. His friend Jeff Kaliman remembers him in the IBWAA newsletter.

Rico leaves the org with 2 Met appearances, or twice as many as Jose Ureña, Kevin Herget, Tyler Zuber, and Zach Pop (FA) each made. Jonathan Pintaro, returned to Syracuse, also has one and only one game as a Met in all.
