Dennis Musgraves was signed by the Mets as an amateur free agent on June 20th, 1964. In his rookie year of 1965, Dennis posted a 0.56 ERA in 15 innings pitched. Wow, what a start to his Met career, he allowed only one earned run! He made his debut on July 9th and his last appearance was July 29th. He never pitched in the majors again, despite solid minor league numbers. Musgraves retired in 1971 after several years in the minors.
This ball was signed by Mr. Musgraves after being mailed to his home in April of 2018. I requested the #34 #36 #41 inscription, since Baseball Reference suggests that he wore 3 numbers during his major league career. I thought this was odd, so I asked him about it. He said he only wore one number in the majors and the others were numbers he wore in the minors.
