Gerry Arrigo - The 46th Met Pitcher


     Gerry Arrigo was acquired in a trade with the Cincinnati Reds on May 20. 1966.  Ron Locke was sent to Cincinnati three days later as a player to be named later.  Arrigo's Met career was relatively short, lasting only three months.  On August 16th, he was sent back to the Reds for cash.  During his short stay in New York, Arrigo pitched pretty well, posting a 3.74 ERA over 43.1 innings.  He spent four more seasons in the majors before retiring in 1971 after three games in the minors.  

     This 4th of July ball was signed through the mail after being mailed to Arrigo's home.
