Not all bad

One could certainly say that the 1962 NY Mets are the worst team in the history of baseball. Yet, six Hall of Famers were associated with that team in some way. Who are they?

Gil Hodges (1B), Richie Ashburn (CF) and Casey Stengel (mgr).

Those are the easy ones.

Wait, is Hodges in? I forget.

YankeeLinks · 02-09-2002, 05:39 PM

Though a lot of people think he should be in, Hodges is not.

4 to go

George Weiss
Roger Hornsby
Ralph Kiner
Bob Murphy

I wasn't aware Murphy was in the Hall. If he's in the Broadcasting wing, there's still one more

Red Ruffing was a pitching coach in 1962
Bill Dickey was also part of the coaching staff

I was looking for Ruffing. Good job, BB

I'm curious to know what Hornsby did with that team?

YankeeLinks · 02-10-2002, 03:02 PM

Hornsby was a part time hitting caoch as well as a scout
