Don Shaw was drafted by the Mets in 35th round of the 1965 amateur draft. He spent the 1967 season and parts of the 1968 season with the major league club. Shaw took full advantage of his time in the big leagues, by posting a 2.56 ERA over 63.1 innings pitched. This youngster was a true bright spot out of the pen for the young Mets. His Met career would come to an in end in October of 1968, when the Expos selected him from the Met in the expansion draft.
The first baseball was signed by Mr. Shaw after being mailed to his home. He even inscribed it with my request of "MLB debut 4/11/67". My birthday is 4/11 so it's a fun date for me. The second ball was purchased from a collector before I realized TTM was an option for autographs.
