The New York Mets announced retired closer John Franco will be inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame on June 3, prior to the 1:10 p.m. game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

The 2012 season will mark the 50th anniversary for the New York Mets and on Wednesday they unveiled their plans for the season-long celebration, including a new logo to go with their new uniforms.
