One of the munificent seven catchers on the 1962 Mets. RIP Later

Best Hobie the Mets have ever had. There's literally no competition.

He was the second-oldest living Met, behind only Roger Craig. With his death, John DeMerit moves into the Top Ten, Ron Taylor enters the Top Twenty, and John Sullivan is now in the Top Forty.
