McGraw played in 19 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB), from 1965 to 1984, for the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies. He is often remembered for coining the phrase \"Ya Gotta Believe\", which became the rallying cry for the 1973 New York Mets and has since become a popular slogan for the team and fans."
