Dave Eilers joined the Mets on August 18th, 1965, when his contract was purchased from the Milwaukee Braves. With less than two months remaining in the the '65 season, Eilers made 11 appearances for the Mets. His 4.00 ERA and solid work the following spring earned him a spot in the pen for the '66 season. Unfortunately, Eilers struggled early, posting a 4.67 ERA over 34.2 innings. He was demoted at the end of June and finished the season at AAA Jackson. Dave was drafted by Houston in the minor league draft the following season and finished his career in the Astros organization.
This baseball was signed through the mail after being mailed to Mr. Eilers home in April of 2018.
