Phantom Mets In the course of their history, the Mets have had a handful of players get called up to the big club, get issued a uniform, and stalk around the dugout or lurk in the bullpen for a few days, only to return from whence they came without ever seeing a pitch for the orange and blue. This is that select company of hazy characters. Let's face it: They got closer than you or I did. A special shout-out goes to the boys at Faith and Fear in Flushing for helping me compile this list.
