Since their inception as a Major League Baseball team in 1962, the New York Mets have had the honor of sending 16 former players to the Baseball Hall of Fame (HOF). Of those players, only two (Tom Seaver and Mike Piazza) have entered the hall with a Mets hat on their plaque.
As the team awaits its next Hall of Fame inductee, fans and analysts have debated which players are most deserving. Some expect third basemen David Wright will be selected when he becomes eligible.
However, there is one former Met who did not receive the consideration he deserved: John Franco.
