Height: 6'0"
Weight: 175 lbs.
Born: May 24, 1941 in Kansas City, MO
Signed: 1961 by the St. Louis Cardinals
Acquired: traded from the Cardinals with George Altman for Roger
Craig, November 1962
Appeared in 62 games for the Mets as a
pitcher in 1964, a team record that was to stand for many years. Oddly enough,
those 62 games were the only ones in which he would ever pitch in the big
leagues. Pictured is his 1966 Topps card.
A great old minor-league card appears below.

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.
