Jim McAndrew, who pitched alongside Nolan Ryan and Tom Seaver for the
1969 World Champion New York Mets, passed away on Wednesday at the age
of 80.

The team made the announcement in a post about his career:

Jim passed away at 80 after a short illness last Wednesday at Scottsdale
Shea Hospital in Scottsdale, AZ.

Him and Don Caldwell were unsung but vital components of that staff.
McAndrew was a hard luck pitcher at times, losing games 2-1 or he'd be
excellent with 7-8 shutout innings. They didn't need him in the WS, but
he easily could have contributed
