The Mets were once again starting to return to prominence in 2005. They sent 3 players to the All-Star team that year. In his first year with the Mets, Pedro went 15-8 with a 2.82 ERA and 208 strikeouts. Too bad he would never stay healthy enough to sustain that kind of performance. Things might’ve […]
