Name the 25 former Mets who managed in the majors

Interesting trivia from the Mets post-game notes:

METS THAT LATER MANAGE: Juan Samuel is the 25th former Mets player to become a major league manager…Since the Mets started play in 1962 the only other team with as many former players who became managers is the Dodgers, who also have 25 (also including Samuel)…Nine former Mets players have won at least 500 games as a big league manager: Gil Hodges, Don Zimmer, Joe Torre, Roger Craig, Bobby Valentine, Jim Fregosi, Bruce Bochy, Ron Gardenhire and Clint Hurdle…Thanks to Elias for the research

Hmm…let’s see, they gave us nine.   Who are the other 16…Lee Mazzilli managed the Orioles, Ray Knight the Reds, Larry Bowa was a Met, does interim manager Mike Cubbage count?  What about Wally Backman’s two days with Arizona?

Who can name ’em all?  No cheating!  Go…
