New York Mets Hall of Fame
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New York Mets Hall of Fame was created in 1981 to recognize the careers of former New York Mets players, managers, broadcasters and executives. There are presently 25 members[1][2], with a 26th (John Franco) scheduled for induction in 2012. Originally located in the Diamond Club at Shea Stadium, the inductees are now honored with plaques in the Mets Hall of Fame and Museum at Citi Field, which opened in April 2010.[3][4]
