Joe Grzenda was purchased from the Kansas City A's on August 14th, 1967. This transaction was another effort by the Mets to find a steady southpaw out of the pen. Statistically, Grzenda didn't disappoint. Despite being used sparingly, he posted a 2.16 ERA over 11 appearances and 16.2 innings pitched. Unfortunately for Joe, the Mets were stacked with young pitching talent during this period. After the conclusion of the '67 season, Grzenda's contract was sold to the Twins. He would eventually move on to throw the last pitch in Washington Senators history.
This 4th of July baseball was signed by Mr. Grzenda after being mailed to his home in April of 2018.
