Torre of the Mets

Most home runs as a Met by a player who also went on to manage the Mets:
Joe Torre 12
Gil Hodges 9
Bud Harrelson 6
Roy McMillan 3
Willie Randolph 2
Bobby Valentine 2
Mike Cubbage 1

Of the 18 men who have served as manager of the Mets (either permanent or interim), nine also played for the Mets and nine did not. In addition to the seven above, Yogi Berra and Dallas Green also played for the Mets, but in each case only played in four games as a Met. Green and George Bamberger were the only major league pitchers to go on to manage the Mets. Every Mets manager thus far has played at least a little bit of major league baseball. Torre's first season as Mets manager was one of the few stints by anyone over the last 50 years as a player-manager (Pete Rose 1984-86, Don Kessinger 1979, Torre 1977, Frank Robinson 1975-76, El Tappe 1962, Hank Bauer 1961, Solly Hemus 1959).
