Here's a hint: one of the Mets in the remaining teammates pair is a Hall of Famer.

Seaver an Koosman?

I should've phrased this quiz to reflect that the two pairs of Mets teammates that were also high school baseball teammates were all teammates on the same (1968) Mets team. Agee & Jones were teammates at Mobile County Training School. Seaver & Selma were teammates at Fresno High School.

Presumably teammates on the Norwood (MA) HS team (graduated within a year of each other), and teammates on the 1979 Mets. Probably some more such pairs if we're willing to do some digging.

Richie Hebner could do some digging for you.

More recent than you might realize: John Buck and Brandon Lyon.

1972 Mets Jim Fregosi and Danny Frisella went to the same high school (Serra HS, San Mateo, CA), but Frisella was four years younger, so they were unlikely to have been teammates unless Frisella was an eighth-grade wunderkind.
