Billy Wagner is wearing #13 for the Mets now. A previous fan favorite to wear the number is Lee Mazzilli, during the 1986 World Championship season. Maz came up with the Mets wearing #12, and quickly swapped with John Stearns for #16. He was their great young hope, the Italian Stallion (when Yankee fans used that phrase for Rick Cerone, Met fans got very upset, sort of like how Yankee fans got upset when Billy Wagner used Mario Rivera's "Enter Sandman" song when he came in from the bullpen). But we digress. One of Mets fans only happy moments in in the late 70s was Maz's great All Star game in 1979 (2 plate appearances: game tying homer in the ninth, walk-off-walk against Ron Guidry in the 10th). Other than that, Maz had only limited success, and the Mets traded Maz for Ron Darling and Walt Terrell in 1982. They then traded Walt Terrell for Howard Johnson. They then brought Maz back in 1986, though at this point Dwight Gooden was wearing #16, so Maz took #13. Maz contributed to key rallies in World Series comebacks in Game 6 and in Game 7. Maz's contribution to that Series is far greater if you credit him for part of Ron Darling and Howard Johnson's contributions, since they were acquired for Maz in the first place.
Edgardo Alfonso also wore #13. He played in the majors for the Mets from 1995 until 2001.
