It played its home games at Meadowbrook Park and produced future Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher and strikeout king Nolan Ryan as well as another hurler, Jerry Koosman, who would go on to star on the New York Mets' 1969 "Miracle Mets" team.
The Mets succeeded the Milwaukee Braves as the Major League Baseball parents of the Greenville franchise after the 1964 campaign.
Koosman played on the 1965 club, posting a lacklustre 5-11 won/lost record and an earned run average of 4.71.
The Greenville Mets also produced future MLB players Duffy Dyer, Ed Figueroa and Dick Selma, among others.
The Mets moved to the Florida State League in 1967 and the Boston Red Sox became parents of the Greenville WCL club.
