Former Mets Prospect Passes Away →
In sad news, former Mets’ second round draft pick Jeff Seale passed away on Sunday from complications arising from a spider bite.
As this link from the Daily Camera shows, Seale comes from the Hot Foot tradition - one of fun loving, humor and the game of baseball:
