When retired NYPD officer Steve Dillon climbed the mound at Citi Field last week — part of the old timers game — it was his first time donning a Mets uniform since the 60s.
Dillon, now 79, played for the Mets from 1963 to 1965 before taking on his second calling as a New York City police officer.
The elder Dillon spent a year on a Yankees farm team fresh out of Cardinal Hayes High School before joining the Mets in 1963. But when the Mets roster shrunk in 1965, Dillon got sent back to the minors and left baseball soon after. In 1969, he became a New York City police officer.
