Ayala did have some milestones in his career. In his first at bat in the majors on August 27th, 1974, he hit a home run joining an illustrious group of Mets players who have accomplished that feat.
His most important hit was in the 1979 World Series. Playing for the Orioles he hit a two run home run against the Pirates in Game 3 of the Series.
He was a very funny guy and that is why he is the Mets Birthday Quote of the Day,
"I'm an eclipse player---you don't see me very often."
--Benny Ayala, on being a utility player most of his career
