Hint: One remaining Met was involved in one of the 1970's most memorable plays. Another former (though non-1962) Met was also involved in that same play.

OG Mets Sucking in the Seventies Ed Kranepool -- MetIrish Chris Cannizzaro -- MFS62 Jim Hickman -- JCL In the 1970 All Star Game, it was Jim Hickman who stroked a single to center field with the game tied. Amos Otis, already an all-star in just his first season with his new team, fielded the single and threw the ball back to catcher Ray Fosse in an attempt to cut off the potential winning run from scoring. The rest is history. JCL: Which Bob Miller are you referring to? Because there were two of them, you know. (haha)

How to remember which was which? Leave it to the Mets to have one of them have "L" as his middle initial - and he was the righty. Nothing was easy with that 1962 team. Later

Later I have a hard time remembering which one is dead; it's the guy who came back in 1974, not the guy who was older... but I still never remember which was which.
