Butch Huskey, who was the penultimate Met to wear No. 42 and spent parts of five seasons in Queens, has died, the team announced Friday.
He was 54 years old.
A cause of death wasn’t revealed.
“We are saddened to learn about the passing of former Met Butch Huskey,” the Mets said in a statement.
Huskey was the Mets’ seventh-round pick in 1989 out of high school, and he made his MLB debut four years later in 1993 before going on to appear in 414 games for the Mets — while also spending time with the Mariners, Twins, Red Sox and Rockies.
