The Mets had high hopes for Les, but he didn't quite make it due to a chronic bad back. There were two other rookie pitchers that appeared together on a 1968 Topps card for the Mets who did pretty well, though: Jerry Koosman and Nolan Ryan. This is Les's rookie card, of course, from 1968 Topps.  [I have avoided posting this pun for the entirety of my adult life, but now that I am old and it is unlikely anyone will ever visit this page again, here it is:  What did the guy want when he thought that the lion was too loud?  Les Rohr.]

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.
