 Though he never pitched in an official game for the Mets, Wegener was given the start in the 1974 Mayor's Trophy Exhibition Game against the Yankees on May 30 at Shea Stadium. Perhaps with a solid showing, he would be called up from AAA Tidewater to help a beleaguered pitching staff. However, after tossing two scoreless innings, the right-hander unfortunately showed he wasn't going to be much help either. After getting two outs in the third, Wegener walked three in a row, then allowed a grand slam to backup infielder Fernando Gonzalez. His final line for the day: 3.1 innings, 3 hits, 7 runs and 5 walks, as the Mets fell to the Yankees, 9-4.

 I remember Dickie Haymore as a winner! He was not big in stature but as big as he needed to be to win! I saw in my 2 years playing with Haymore, class A Quincy ill. Mid-West League 1963 and at Auburn in the class A New York Penn State League1964. A never give up player! At Quincy we were in last place but if you were watching Haymore you would have thought we were in first. At Auburn we were in first place and it was always Haymore in the middle of almost every rally. When I pitched and Haymore was playing second base his conversation always made me feel in the moment. Haymore was my friend and I believe he was a big part of the spirit and the togetherness the 1964 Auburn Mets had! The 1964 Auburn Mets won the League Championship and The Governors Cup Tournament. For a small farm country boy, this was a dream come true! Thanks to everyone that played on this team! I just turned 80 and I still have my ring and all the news paper clippings!

 When starting playing baseball in the Pony League, we kinda expanded our playing territory and my knowledge of baseball and the great players were well known and well talked about. I grew up in a country county in Virginia. In Pony League everyone playing was going to the Big Leagues! Billy was in every baseball conversation. Everybody knew Billy! I was younger so I never played against him. He was a champion at Manchester High School and signed a pro contract with The New York Mets in 1962. He played 1 year at Auburn, New York in the class A New York Penn League. I know Billy now and he still lives in the area. Billy is a great person and I am glad I met him after a childhood of hearing all of the great stories about him! I hope you see this post!

 I was afraid of Larry at first because he was older than I and he was from the north and always made fun of my southern accent! At Quincy, Ill., a class A team in the Mid-West League. As a team we became great friends. Larry was so funny! Everyone laughed when he would say anything! Larry played third base. There was a fan that always gave Larry a hard time and this fan was sitting right behind first base so when Larry caught a ground ball, he threw the baseball over the first baseman’s head and hit the fan in the stands! Another time l remember Larry went to bat. The pitcher threw him a fastball right down the middle. Larry took it! The pitcher threw him 2 more fastballs down the middle for strike 3! We all asked Larry, why did you not swing? He said, “Nobody throws McNulty 3 fastballs in a row! Nobody!”

 In 1963 Tom Stepp was the shortstop of The Quincy Jets, a class A baseball team in the Mid-West League. He was a real tough and durable player. He was there every day and could always be counted on. He was a friend. At the end of the season Tom asked if I would ride with him in his car to his home in West Virginia, then I could fly To my home in Virginia. This would save me about half of my airline ticket and give him company for the trip. We had a great trip talking about our season and what may be in the future! We arrived at the airport at about 11:00 pm and my flight was not until morning. No one was in the airport so I found a good spot to put all my luggage and sleep for the night. The next morning a house keeper woke me up and I went to the restroom to get ready for my flight. It was a local flight that stopped 4 times before it arrived in Virginia. I thought I would never get home. I never heard from Tom again!

 Terry played for the Mets at Auburn Class A in the New York Penn. State League in 1963. I played with Auburn in 1964. We both were from Richmond, Virginia, but we did not know each other. In 1965 we both were out of pro baseball and we both went to work for The DuPont Company. After several years when we were too old for baseball we both signed up to play on The DuPont Softball Team. We became great friends and enjoyed a lot of fun times together, at work and on the softball field. We enjoyed winning and going to the National Tournaments! When we first got home from pro baseball, they had the White Leagues and The Black Leagues. At the end of each season an all star team was chosen from each league and Jerome and I had pitched against each other before we knew our relationship as Mets! Jerome was my friend and a great guy!

 In 1963 Jeff Brown from Texas and I, Kenny Marshall from Virginia had signed contracts with the New York Mets. Both just out of High School. And we were both signed with The Quincy Jets which was affiliated with Class A, Mid-West League. We arrived in mid June with the season well underway. Jeff and I became real good friends and worked well together trying to figure out this new life of baseball! We both had limited playing time but we learned a lot from the team and our manager, Sheriff Roberson. In 1964 Jeff and I joined together again at Spring Training in Sanford, Florida. We were living a life-long dream. It was a great experience. We were roommates, the meals at the Resort Hotel were great, we joined other players after practice for basketball in the hotel pool, finish off the evening with 5-card draw. We both were assigned to an Auburn, New York contract, in the N Y P League, class A. At Auburn we were roommates. We both were getting more playing time. I finished the season at Auburn where we won the league championship and the Governors Cup. Jeff was promoted to AA Williamsport. I never heard from him again. I have often thought and wondered!!!

 I played with Jerry Craft at Quincy Jets in 1963 and with the Auburn Mets in 1964. Jerry was a pitcher that I looked up to. He was a hard worker and a determined winner. We had a lot of great memories together! Like in 1963 the umpire that hated our team and what we did to him! Ha ha. In 1964 Jerry pitched the Auburn Mets to a league championship and also the governors cup championship. I still have my championship ring and the newspaper clippings. I was glad I found this post! It has been a long time but will always be remembered!
