Tom Parsons - The 34th Met Pitcher


     Tom Parson's contract was purchased from Pittsburgh in September of 1964.  Baseball Reference doesn't list the exact date of the transaction.  He was a Met for approximately one year and two months, pitching 110 career innings.  Parsons was 2-12 with a 4.58 ERA during this stint.  Tom was dealt to Houston in November o f '65 in exchange for a player to be named later.  This player turned out to be future "Miracle Met" catcher Jerry Grote.   

     This ball was signed through the mail in March of 2018 after being mailed to his home.
