A look back at one of the few New York Mets players who hailed from Flushing, pitcher Ed Glynn.
Since 1964, the New York Mets have made their home in Flushing, Queens, a small geographical area in the much larger state of New York. Many Mets over the years have grown up in the Empire State, including several members of the current roster like Steven Matz, Marcus Stroman, and Dellin Betances.
