Josh Thole was one of the most important members of the 2012 New York Mets despite not having incredible numbers.

In parts of four seasons with the New York Mets, catcher Josh Thole slashed .261/.331/.333. He hit only seven home runs and drove in 87. Far from an offensive weapon, his role in Mets history is different.

His career seemed to all come together in 2012 when he managed to add two pretty awesome items to his resume.
