Ron Locke

Ronald Thomas Locke
Batted: Right
Threw: Left
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 168 lbs.
Born: April 4, 1942 in Wakefield, RI
Signed: 1963 by the Mets

 

Ron only pitched one season in the big leagues, but it was a good one; pictured is a card following that season, from 1965 Topps. Amazingly enough, using the early sabermetric measurement called Linear Weights, Ron was actually the most valuable pitcher on the Mets' staff in '64, yet he never appeared again in the majors.

This is a list of the cards of this player that I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the ownership of said collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The cards that are listed in light gray print and struck through are cards that were sold for charity prior to my divestiture.  The cards listed in white text are the ones that still remained until that final deal.  Items listed in green I kept out of the deal, just so I'd have something to display in my office and den.  At the bottom and listed in orange text are cards that I picked up after the dealing was done, in order to maintain a certain continuity at this site; that is, so I'd have a card to show you at the top of the page, and maybe in the autographs and game-used areas.  If an orange card is struck through, it has also departed the collection.  I’m still accepting donations, should you feel so moved.  Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
