Wow...What can you say about John DeMerit? John was one of the first Mets to appear on a baseball card, he's on card #4 of the 62 Topps set. According to the card, John was a "Minor League Slugger who clouted 4 consecutive home runs in 1958 for Atlanta." Apparently this feat didn't equate to major league success, while Topps felt that "John was one of the most important draft picks the Mets made during the winter," his stats reveal otherwise, his career numbers coming into 62 were .172 AVG, 2 HRs and 6 RBI in 118 AB spanning 79 games. Odd fact for a Met unmemorable.

I remember a back page photo in the New York Daily Mirror (back when NY had more than two tabloids) of John DeMerit dropping a ball in centerfield. The caption: "A DeMerit for the Met Outfield"!

I once read where John and "Hawk " Taylor of all people got over $100 Grand to sign with the Milwaukee Braves as Bonus Babies! I guess they realized neither of them was going to work out in the long run. Funny, how right from the start the Mets organization couldn't judge talent. Seems like nothing changes! Ever!

John may not have had the brightest Major League career but he's got a World Series ring ('57 Braves). I'd bet he wears it proudly every day.

Only the New York Mets could have a player named Demerit.
