Only two men in New York Mets history have gone to the All-Star Game and knocked a home run. This pair includes two guys we rarely hear mentioned together, Lee Mazzilli and David Wright.
Mazzilli certainly produced for the Mets in his time with them. However, he hardly put together the career Wright did.
In his lone All-Star appearance in 1979, Mazzilli hit the first home run in Mets All-Star history. The eighth inning solo shot helped the National League tie the game at six. It was a pinch-hit home run against pitcher Jim Kern.
