Mets have apologized to one of the players they accidentally had dead

During their 50th anniversary celebration of the 1969 World Series champs on Saturday, the Mets honored members of that team who have passed away with an in memoriam video. But not everyone in the video is dead.

The tribute bizarrely included two ’69 Mets who are still alive — Jim Gosger and Jesse Hudson.

Someone from the Mets phoned Gosger after Saturday’s game to apologize for the error, and a source told The Post’s Zach Braziller that Gosger took the flub in stride. The Mets were hoping to get in touch with Hudson to apologize as well.
