Did you know that Mike Vail won the 1975 International League Player of the Year award? Did you also know that in 1975 he proceeded to set a modern major league rookie record 23 game hit streak? It has since been broken.

I knew that, but I also lived through that period of Mets history, hoping that Mike Vail would be the NEXT BIG THING. (Hint: He wasn't).

I don't remember the details but I recall him being a pain in the ass when he was with the Cubs.
