I remember Torre with the Mets as a player and manager during the mid/late 70s. Those were dark days.

The Mets made one trip to The Series in the 70s... 1972?

Torre played for eh Braves, Cardinals, and Mets. Before George Steinbrenner picked him up, he had manged the Mets, Cardinals, and Braves. The same three teams, in reverse order.

He was the only person to be in uniform on the winning side in the first and last games at Fulton County Stadium.

He’s also one of four people to have managed the Yankees and the Mets. Can you name the other three? (To are pretty easy. One is a bit more obscure.)
