Mets Old Timers’ Day is quickly becoming the hottest ticket in town.
On Monday, the team announced that Pedro Martinez would join the festivities on Aug. 27 at Citi Field.
Martinez, a first ballot Hall of Famer, spent four seasons with the Mets, racking up a 3.88 ERA in 79 starts. He was an All-Star for the team in 2005, a year in which he led the major leagues with a 0.949 WHIP, and again represented the Mets at the Midsummer Classic in 2006.
Martinez joins other big names including Mike Piazza, Mookie Wilson, Robin Ventura, John Matlack, Cliff Floyd and Ron Swoboda as participants in the game, which is being held for the first time since 1994.
Martinez has been a staple of MLB Network for years now, and this summer he will make his first appearance in a Mets uniform since 2008.
