I don't know where you got it, but never go there again.

Blair, Hardin, Powell, and Smith were minor leaguers signed by the Mets IN 1962. Powell made the majors in 1963, Hardin was still in their farm system in 1965; Smith, in 1969.

There were several misspellings ("Lepico" is Lepcio; "Patrick" is Fitzpatrick; "Drabowski" is Drabowsky). Bruce, Drabowsky, Jones and Shantz were never in the Mets' organization and Elliot was not purchased from the Pirates until 1964.Warwick was a non-roster invitee to the Mets' 1967 camp.

I don't know what Anderson is doing there (presumably somebody meant CRAIG Anderson, who pitched for the '62 Mets). Walls was selected in the expansion draft and traded to the Dodgers for Charlie Neal.

This sounds like somebody was trying to remember a list from memory and did it really, really badly.
