The New York Mets today announced that Mookie Wilson has returned to the organization as the team’s minor-league outfield and base running coordinator. Wilson, a former Mets player, coach and minor league manager, was last with the club in 2005 as the manager of the Brooklyn Cyclones (A) of the New York-Penn League.
"It’s good to be back," said Wilson, 53, who makes his home in Eastover, S.C. "This is where I started and I’m anxious to do whatever I can for the young kids in our system."
