Mets Hot Stove will serve as a lead-in to a new series, dubbed Mets Yearbook, at 7:30 p.m. The show features 27 half-hour season highlight films for the Amazins from 1962-1988. Originally produced as marketing films that were presented before community and church groups, many have not aired on television.First up: the 1971 season, which includes footage of an old-timers' game in which Satchel Paige is seen pitching, and in which Bobby Thomson pitched to Ralph Branca.Other notable footage showcases a young Ralph Kiner giving batting tips to Ken Singleton and Casey Stengel strolling out to centerfield clubhouse at the Polo Grounds -- a la Tom Seaver and Mike Piazza's final walk during the closing of Shea Stadium.
