We lost one of the greatest to have ever donned the blue and orange. Ya Gotta Believe!

Hard to believe it's been ten years already.

One of only two Mets pitchers to have defeated Sandy Koufax, and the starter both times they did it.

Tug + 10. My goodness. Potentially lost in the legend of McGraw (and he's one of the handful for whom "legendary" seems wholly appropriate) is how frigging good a relief pitcher he was. Probably the best lefty out of the pen in the National League between '69 and '73. One of my favorite facts I've found in my research is Tug still holds the record for most K's by a Met reliever in a single outing: nine strikeouts in four innings versus the Padres in 1971.
