Frank Thomas, the New York Mets' first home run king, died Monday morning at age 93.
Thomas was a member of the original Mets team in 1962 and spent three seasons playing outfield, first base and third base for the franchise.
The Pittsburgh native hit 34 home runs during the Mets' inaugural season in 1962, a record that stood until Dave Kingman knocked 36 homers in 1975. Thomas also drove in 94 runs during the Mets' first season, a mark that stood until 1970.
Thomas returned to Citi Field in August for the return of Old Timers' Day.
