Mo Vaughn Gave His Life To The Mets

Anonymous

,

So the Hall of Fame ballot was announced yesterday and there are four players on the list that spent some time in a Mets uniform, 2 who were "real Mets"(Jesse Orosco & David Cone), and 2 who were rented players (Ricky Henderson & Mo Vaughn).
Now of course each team likes to promote their own players, be they deserving or not. So it came as no surprise yesterday when I saw an article on the Mets website doing just that. Except the title mentioned "A Trio of Mets" on the ballot, and who's picture is included - Mo Vaughn!
Mo had some good years - in Boston
He even had 2 ok years - in Anaheim
But the man played only 166 games with the Mets.
I love that the Mets seemingly want to embrace history - but come on, embrace your own history, not someone else's.

Met him once. Far more a Met than Mo.
