   The wife of Jerry Grote, Cheryl, announced Sunday evening that her husband,   
   Jerry, passed away earlier Sunday evening at age 81 due to respiratory failure   
   after a heart procedure.   
      
   Grote was part of the 1969 Miracle Mets team that won the first World Series in   
   franchise history. Grote, largely regarded as the best catcher in team history,   
   played 12 seasons for the orange and blue. He was a two-time All-Star (1968,   
   1974) and accumulated 994 hits across his Mets career. Grote is the Mets
