Farewell to Mets' believer
Tug was one of my favorite players when I was a kid, even though he was a Met. Watching him drag that '73 team from last place all the way to the World Series was probably the greatest playoff run I've ever witnessed in any sport. And all his TV interviews and such showed you a guy you wished had been your crazy uncle instead of the one you got stuck with, because you knew he would always be fun to be with.
