Ashburn hit over .300 for the Mets in 62’ but I seem to recall that the emerging reputation of the Mets as lovable losers didn’t sit well with him and he retired.
As a broadcaster, Ashburn often told the story that he received a cabin cruiser for being named the MVP of the '62 Mets, and shortly thereafter, the boat sunk.
