Tylor Megill wanted to tie his shoe tonight on the mound and got an explanation from an umpire that it would count as a mound visit if he asked for time.

"Top prospects like Brett Baty and Francisco Alvarez are about to graduate, but the Mets' system overall has improved in a big way." Joe talks about the top prospects, how the Mets will have "four of the top 101 and seven of the top 134 picks" in the 2023 draft and how "A chunk of last year’s international signing class will be heading stateside this year...Simón Juan, outfielder Willy Fanas, shortstop Dangelo Sarmiento, and the breakout from that class in shortstop Jesus Baez."

1966 | Before an intrasquad contest in St. Petersburg in a pregame ceremony, the Mets announce the election of their former manager Casey Stengel to the Hall of Fame. The 75 year-old 'Old Perfessor' benefitted from a new rule by the Baseball Writers Committee on Veterans that makes any manager, umpire, or executive past the age of 65 eligible to be elected to the Hall of Fame six months after retiring, bypassing the traditional five-year wait rule for players. |
1966 - The Hall of Fame Special Veterans Committee waives one of its election rules and selects manager Casey Stengel as the newest member of the Hall. Stengel managed the New York Mets for much of the 1965 season before falling and breaking his hip. The injury ended the elderly Stengel's career. Given his age, the Veterans Committee decides to make him immediately eligible for Cooperstown.
3/8/1966 At Mets spring training camp in St. Petersburg, Florida, Casey Stengel is told that he has been elected to the Hall of Fame. The baseball writers waive the five-year waiting period and vote Stengel into the Hall just one year after his retirement. pic.twitter.com/Rq39qs1BF1
