🕊️ Remembering Bill Hepler (1945–2025). At just 20, he pitched for the 1966 Mets: 37 games, 69 innings, 3.52 ERA, 25 Ks. Brief but unforgettable, he allowed only 1 ER in his first 10 innings. Forever part of Mets history. 💙🧡 #Mets #MetsHistory

12/12/1986: In the infamous “Kevin trade,” the #Mets sent Kevin Mitchell and four others to the Padres for Kevin McReynolds. McReynolds became a reliable power hitter, but fans still debate if the price was too high. What do you think? #MetsHistory #VintageMetsHistory
#MetsHistory, 12/12/2005: Jose Valentin’s 2006 turnaround was one of Omar Minaya’s smartest moves. After a slow start, he earned the everyday 2B role, hitting 18 HR with an .820 OPS and strong defense. A clutch leader during that NL East title run! #VintageMetsHistory
#MetsHistory, 12/12/1975: After a record-setting 105 RBI season, Rusty Staub was traded to the Tigers for aging pitcher Mickey Lolich in a baffling move by M. Donald Grant. Rusty returned in 1981 as a fan favorite and top pinch-hitter. A trade Mets fans never forget! #VintageMetsHistory

🚨 12/3/1974: The Mets traded Tug McGraw, Don Hahn, and Dave Schneck to the Phillies for John Stearns, Del Unser, and Mac Scarce.
