Hall of Famers on the 1966 New York Mets roster: Nolan Ryan.

The story on this card
This team card reports on the 1966 Mets, who went 66-95 under manager Wes Westrum at Shea Stadium, finishing ninth in the National League. It marked real progress for the young club: for the first time in franchise history the Mets avoided both the National League cellar and a 100-loss season. The 1966 roster included names fans would come to know well: center fielder Cleon Jones, second baseman Ron Hunt, third baseman Ken Boyer and first baseman Ed Kranepool. The year also introduced a teenage right-hander who debuted on the mound in 1966 and went on to a Hall of Fame career, Nolan Ryan. Card 42, from Topps' first series in 1967, pairs a posed team photo on the front with the club's 1966 batting and pitching leaders and each pitcher's record against every opponent on the back.
