 Wilbur Huckle

Wilbur Allan Huckle (born December 23, 1937) is a former baseball prospect for the New York Mets, who achieved "fan favorite" status, despite never actually making the team.Wilbur's reputation — presumably developed from spring training dispatches and broadcasts, and augmented by the assonance of his name — was such that fans began appearing at Shea Stadium, during the building's inaugural season of 1964, wearing "Wilbur Huckle for President" pins.
