The legendary Sandy Koufax made his annual trip to visit the Mets at Tradition Field today to speak with a few of the pitchers, specifically Billy Wagner, who requested his help with a curve ball.

For more on Koufax, and the day in camp, check out Adam Rubin’s blog for the Daily News, David Lennon at Newsday and Jeremy Cothran at the Star-Ledger.

It was also photo day in Mets camp, which you can learn more about by reading Steve Popper in the Bergen Record.

Meanwhile, according to Burt Hubbach in the New York Post, both the Mets and Oliver Perez are happy with yesterday’s arbitration ruling that will pay Perez more money next season than the Mets have initially wanted to.

Lastly, in the New York Post, Mike Vaccaro quotes David Wright as saying he and the Mets owe the fans for last year’s collapse, adding, “And we owe ourselves one, too.”
