Part 6/8:
As induction day approached, Mazzilli admitted he would likely be moved to tears—a reflection of how deeply rooted the Mets are in his heart. Growing up in New York, the Mets represented both childhood dreams and family memories. He described the significance of sharing this moment alongside his granddaughter, Sophia, who would be witnessing her grandfather's achievement for the first time.
He also shared that, even decades after retiring, the memories of playing and winning with the Mets continue to evoke strong emotions. For Mazzilli, the induction was not just about individual accolades but about celebrating a lifetime of dedication, passion, and connection to a team that shaped much of his life.
