The jersey number a player wears is an important part of his identity. Since 1962, the New York Mets have employed a variety of men to represent most of the digits 0 through 99.
We know this franchise isn’t quick to retire numbers. However, that doesn’t mean there is a lack of talent associated with them.
From loneliest digit up to the double-nine, these are the best Mets players to wear each number.
Only four different men have worn the number 0 in their career with the Mets. Rey Ordonez did it twice, representing the goose egg in 1996 and 1997.
