Frank Thomas, a member of the original 1962 Mets team, passed away this weekend. He was 93.

Thomas played 2+ seasons for the Mets (1962-1964). In his first season in New York, Thomas set a Mets franchise mark with 34 home runs. Dave Kingman evetually broke the record in 1975.

"We had a great ball club. We just didn't have any pitching. We scored a lot of runs but we lost a bunch of games in the late innings. It was great playing in New York. I really enjoyed playing for Casey Stengel. I've always said that he probably forgot more baseball than I'll ever know." — Frank Thomas on the 1962 Mets
