Al Jackson or Ed Kranepool.
BOTH were members of the 1962 Mets-their inagural year in baseball.
Jackson was an excellent pitcher, Kranepool was outstanding.

I'd go luck of the draw and take the chance you get to hear good stories from any of them.

Ask him if he remembers a game in August of 1992 when he was playing for the Padres-I was at a game at Wrigley Field (sitting in the bleachers), and the Cubs led most of the game. The Padres tied it in the 9th inning, and the game went on into extra innings. Then, in the 17th inning, "Timmy T" hit one out of the stadium and onto Waveland Avenue to win it for the Padres.

I stayed for the whole thing, and let me tell you, I was SO happy I reneged on my decision to quit drinking that day.
