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?

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.
