Ed Bauta was acquired from the Cardinals in exchange for Ken MacKenzie on August 5th, 1963. Ed's Met career consisted of 17 games during the '63 and '64 seasons. He compiled a 5.28 ERA in the majors, but spent most of his time with the Mets in the minor leagues.
The first ball was purchased off of eBay. The second ball was was signed by Mr. Bauta with two different pens, after being sent to his home. When asked the question "What was your favorite memory as a Met?" He replied .. "When I left" This was definitely one on my most memorable signatures through the mail.
