Les Rohr was drafted by the Mets in the 1st round, 2nd overall selection in the 1965 amateur draft. This was the very first amateur draft in MLB history. Rohr, born in England and drafted out of Montana, had limited success in the major leagues despite his lofty status. Over 3 seasons (1967-1969) Les made a total of 6 appearances for the Mets, compiling a 3.70 ERA. Rohr injured his arm finishing out a 24 inning game on April 15th, 1968. He never recovered, mostly toiling in the minors until his release in 1970 after a back injury.
I purchased this ball from a collector. Mr. Rohr doesn't sign TTM and even skips '69 Mets anniversary events, so he's a difficult but not impossible signature.
