Happy Birthday in Mets Heaven to Original Met Hobie Landrith. Not just an Original Met but the first Met picked in the expansion draft. Played 23 games and was in the trade that brought back Marvelous Marv. Also a fun fact: very first Met to wear #5. #LGM #LGM @mets.com

A very Happy Birthday in Mets Heaven to my dear friend Ken MacKenzie. A very proud Original Met. Only Met to have a winning record in 62. He was 5-4. First player introduced at the Old Timers Day. So many great stories over the years about Casey, Hot Rod, Hank and Willie. #Mets #LGM @mets.com

Happy Birthday in Mets Heaven to 62 Met Bob Miller. Left handed Bob Miller was one of two Bob Millers on the 62 team. For some reason Casey called him Nelson. Came to the Mets from Cincy for Don Zimmer.

Happy Birthday to our guy Howie Rose. He is all of us, he speaks for all of us. He loves the Mets. Few things in sports are better than baseball on the radio. Thanks Howie.

A very Happy Mets Birthday to the one and only Nolan Ryan. 29 of his 324 wins and 493 of his mind boggling 5,714 Ks were with the Mets. He had just these 3 Mets cards.

A very Happy Birthday in Mets Heaven to Original Met Don Zimmer. Zim would play 14 games and go 4-52. The day before he was traded he had 2 hits. Casey said he wanted to trade him when he was hot. ❤️🧡💙 #LGM #mets

RIP to Original Met Felix Mantilla. Opening Day SS. The 1st 4 hit game for the Mets. Just one season for the Mets. Fine career, AS and WS Champ. Hank Aaron’s roommate in the minors. Also broke up Harvey Haddix perfecto in the 13th inning. ❤️🧡💙

A very Happy Mets Birthday to Original Met John DeMerit. Played just 12 games and rather accepting a trip to AAA Syracuse retired at 26. Originally came up with the Braves, playing in the 57 WS. Hit 3 ML homers, one off Koufax.

A very Happy Mets Birthday in Heaven to 1962 Mets Coach Ralph “Red” Kress. Originally ticketed to coach in AAA Syracuse. Casey instead brought him to the big club. Unfortunately Red passed 2 months after the 62 season at the age of 57.
