Gary Kroll - The 33rd Met Pitcher


     Gary Kroll was acquired on August 7th, 1964, along with Wayne Graham in exchange for former Met star Frank Thomas.  He played two seasons for the Mets.  Kroll pitched 21.2 strong innings to end the 1964 season, going 0-1 with a 4.15 ERA.  In '65, Kroll appeared in 32 games, making 11 starts.  He was 6-6 with a 4.45 ERA that season.  On January 6th of 1966, Kroll was dealt to Cleveland for John Weekly who never played in a Mets uniform.  

     This ball was signed in January 2018 through the mail as part of a charity for a little league program.
