Todd Hundley is the only #9 to represent the Mets in an All-Star game.

Hundley was the first Met player/Met manager to appear in an All Star Game wearing uniform #9. Ashburn was the first #1. Bobby V. was the first #2. Ed Kranepool (#7) was selected to the 1965 NL All Star team, but did not appear in that game. No Met player/manager ever appeared in an ASG wearing uniform #6.

I appreciate the generous scoring.

If you want to count coaches, I believe Terry Collins broke the seal on #10 last year.
