Ed Kranepool, a New York Mets Hall of Famer and member of the 1969 "Miracle Mets," died Sunday after suffering cardiac arrest. He was 79 years old.

The left-handed Mets first baseman, who was born in New York city, was the longest-tenured player in franchise history. He debuted in the Mets' inaugural season in 1962 after playing at James Monroe High School in the Bronx and appeared in 1,853 games with the team between 1962 and 1979.

Kranepool's home run in the third game of the 1969 World Series against the Baltimore Orioles helped the Mets capture their first championship in franchise history. He also appeared in the team's 1973 World Series against the Athletics.
