In today’s Daily News, Adam Rubin is reporting that Tom Seaver, Jerry Koosman, and Nolan Ryan will be at Citi Field for the 1969 World Championship reunion on August 22.
A charity event will be held in the Caesars Club prior to the game.
For more information, check out Rubin’s article.
…i am thrilled that Ryan will be joining the others for the festivities…it seems that the Mets have so rarely mentioned him as part of that championship despite playing an integral role in that postseason, and there is no better time for his original team to celebrate his career…

I don’t think it is the Mets who are reluctant to include him as much as he’s been reluctant to be included. Last year they announced him as being invited to final game festivities, and he didn’t show.
Either way, agreed it will be great to see him taking his place in Mets history.
Speaking of the role Ryan played in the WS, which included recording a save…I never realized until recently that Tug McGraw didn’t throw a single pitch in the ‘69 World Series. I found that surprising.
