NEW YORK (AP) — Closer John Franco will be inducted into the New York Mets Hall of Fame before the June 3 game against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Franco saved a Mets-record 276 games from 1990-04 and finished with 424 saves overall, the most by a left-hander.
He becomes the 26th member of the Mets’ Hall and the first to join since Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden, Davey Johnson and former general manager Frank Cashen in 2010.
