Nothing much needs to be said about John Franco except that he was an
all-time great relief pitcher, and that he was the New York-born heart and soul
of the Mets. In 2012, John received the ultimate honor the Mets could bestow
when they made him part of the team's Hall of Fame. Pictured is a pocket schedule
from 1991 featuring John, and below are more scans of interesting Franco
memorabilia, as well as cards from throughout his long career.
