1. Tom Seaver

Two players have entered the Baseball Hall of Fame wearing a New York Mets hat.  Fittingly, Tom Seaver was the first.

Prior to the recent induction of Ken Griffey Jr., Seaver entered Cooperstown with the highest percentage from the voters, which considering he was one of the greatest Starting Pitchers that ever lived was fitting.  While he did not play his entire career in New York, “Tom Terrific” was at his Hall of Fame best during his years in the Big Apple.

Manny Corpas was with the Rockies for six of his seven seasons in MLB, all of which were used out of the bullpen.  As a member of the Rockies, Corpas would have 34 Saves and finished 121 Games.  His 2007 season would see him post a 1.064 WHIP with 19 Saves and in their playoff run that year he allowed only one run over 10.1 Innings with 1 Win, 5 Saves and a 0.581 WHIP.
