I can remember my sister stopping in her tracks when she saw the Mets yearbook (‘72?) with Fregosi's picture on the front. No wonder you like baseball! I was 12 she was 19; I was not in it for the players' looks yet Lolol

I remember Jim fregosi very barely, but I remember he wasn't very productive. Didn't the Mets trade Ryan for him?

He may have given up the runs, but Jon Matlack gives no ground in his recollection of the 1973 World Series. Matlack would later put on a show in the postseason. He pitched a shutout in the National League Championship Series against the Reds and pitched three games in the World Series against the Athletics, losing two of them, but he had a strong 2.16 Fall Classic ERA. Matlack lost the seventh game, 5-2, by allowing home runs to Bert Campaneris and Reggie Jackson. “I tip my hat to Campy. He hit a very nice curveball. It might have been a little wind-aided. Credit to him because he found a pitch he wanted and he was able to drive it,” Matlack said. “I hung a ball to Reggie that anybody could have hit out. When it left my hand, it was like, 'Oh, [man].' You knew by the way it came out of my hand it wasn't going to be good.” Fifty years after losing to Oakland, Matlack believes the Mets should have won their second championship in five seasons. “It was an interesting postseason. The series against the Reds held a lot more attention for us as a team than the World Series did,” Matlack said. “In reality, I thought we outplayed the A's the first six games, but we ended up 3-3 and they came to play on the last day.” Bill Ladson doing the 50th-anniversary honors again. https://www.mlb.com/mets/news/jon-matlack-talks-mets-careerhttps://www.mlb.com/mets/news/jon-matlack-talks-mets-career This was a good read and I remember being proud that he was a PA boy Last night I read the SABR essay on John Milner
