Baseball's amateur draft is taking place this week, so in honor of that annual event here is a Mets/Yankees draft-pick quiz. The answers will be posted tomorrow.
↵1. The first year of the draft was 1965. Who was the first-ever pick for the Mets?
↵2. Who was the first-ever selection by the Yankees?
↵3. The last time the Mets had the overall #1 pick was in 1994. Who did they select?
↵4. Only two players who were selected first overall in the draft have never played in the major leagues (not counting active players, of course). One was picked by the Mets and the other by the Yankees. Who are they?
↵5. In 1967, the Mets drafted a future Rookie of the Year with their first-round selection, and the following year the Yankees did the same thing. Who are these two players?
