Before they reached MLB, Mets players got their start on sandlots and with little leagues. Some aspiring players joined Alex Ochoa, coach Bruce Benedict and Alberto Castillo during a RGMV Kings clinic in Glendale, Queens. Joined by the team mascot, the Mets undoubtedly tapped into their own experiences to give great advice.
