Lee Mazzilli is #16 to any true Mets fan. Yes he wore 13 when he was back (I still say he should have taken his number back from that other guy) and he wore 12 when he first came up. But to The Faithful, he is #16.

And lest you think I am crazy…let’s see what the Mets had Lee wear at Shea’s closing ceremony….
Any fan of Mazzilli’s is going to want the shirt (or jersey) with a 16. I expect this shirt not to sell well. I know I won’t be buying one.
Go maz! Just finished beer guy….great one-day read! Nice way to spend a rare day off with my chiuwawa…and with the yanks losing 14-4 in the background…..
metspolice They won’t because we honor dice-k and ankiel more, duh!
lagranderusty metspolice Maz 13 is still imp – signifies career redemption, resilience, an org that embraced its own….means a lot
