*** Tommie Agee dead of heart attack at 58 NEW YORK (AP) - Tommie Agee, the center fielder who made two of the greatest catches in World Series history to help the New York Mets win their unexpected title in 1969, died Monday of a heart attack. He was 58. Agee collapsed while walking out of a midtown Manhattan office building. Emergency Medical Service workers found him in cardiac arrest and used a defibrillator en route to Bellevue Hospital but could not resuscitate him. Agee was pronounced dead at 1:05 p.m. ET, Bellevue Hospital spokeswoman Lorinda Klein said. Agee led the Mets in home runs (26) and RBIs (76) in 1969 but is best remembered for his performance in Game 3 of the World Series, which still is replayed repeatedly by the Mets at Shea Stadium. He homered off Jim Palmer leading off the bottom of the first inning and made two catches that probably saved five runs. "The homer meant only one run," Agee said after the game. "The catches saved more than that."
