Ron Darling and Walt Terrell. And Terrell was traded later for Howard Johnson. So Maz brought in quite a bit of talent.Mazzilli left in 82 in a trade that brought back Ron Darling. And then he was back, as part of the 86 championship team.
First game I ever saw was Mets/Cards 1971. Seaver vs. Gibson. Mets in 10 on a Duffy Dyer bloop double. My first view of a major league field was looking down one of the runways at Yogi coaching first base on the greenest grass I ever saw. Will never forget it.
