I've attached the Street & Smith 1962 Annual Mets' roster. It's accurate except as mentioned earlier Billy Loes did NOT attend.

Non-Rosters:

APPLE, Ray
DEEM, Paul
DONNELLY, Ed*
HOY, Marc
KILLEEN, Evans*
ROBINSON, Bill

BURNETTE, Jim (Shown below)
WHALEN, Bill

Infielders
FITZPATRICK, Bruce
HAMILT, Dawes (given first name: Marshall; often listed as a pitcher; he played 3B)
KANEHL, Rod

* previous major league experience

Thank you as always for the invaluable information!

IIRC you once wrote that Topps shot Vinegar Bend Mizell as a Met in 62. That so? And any idea if they got Larry Foss or Clem Labine?
