Mets-SNY Lee Mazzilli has a fondest Memory


He roamed the outfield and took his way of catching the ball from the Master with his basket glove style of making a catch. He came up in 1976 for a Mets team that needed a star. Well the girls loved him, he was the John Travolta of the diamond.

We expected alot from Mazz . Probably too much.He did hit 303 in 1979 and had 181 hits for the mets.
Well Lee Mazzilli was able to meet his idol before he even played a game for the Mets .

He was able to meet Willie Mays.

Check out how he met the Hall of Famer in the story here

Where in the world did you find that card of Mazz? Looks like something off the Ho-Ho's box.
