New York Mets greatest forgotten players: RP Bob Apodaca

Error 0:

The New York Mets don’t have the most storied history out of the bullpen. It’s mostly been a history of disappointment. Bob Apodaca is a different beast.

The New York Mets were riding high in the early 1970s. They had just won the World Series in 1969 and made a World Series appearance in 1972. They were one of the best teams in the National League without a doubt.

The biggest reason for that was the team’s pitching. Tom Seaver, Nolan Ryan, Jerry Koosman, and Jon Matlack all played for the Mets during those years.
