I was only 12 years old at the time but I really thought bill was going to be a good one in '64.

I really enjoyed watching Bill play. His motion was extremely fluid and looked like poetry in motion. It was a great feeling. Now I've grown to love his son.

I thought Bill was ahead of his time... and still is!

Hey, it isn't often that a guy has more major league baseball cards printed (2) than seasons played (1). That and the fact that he held the record for most games pitched for the Mets for so long is how I best remember Bill.

I have been a Met's fan since 1963, and as a 10 year old I remember Bill Wakefield on the Mets. I wonder did he hurt his arm because just the 1 year and the playing days were over. Does anyone have a reason why he only pitched the 1 year?

Here's a trivia question for you. What two future Mets worked as office boys for the Kansas City Athletics as high school students?

Bill Wakefiend and Ray Sadecki
