Ralph Terry - The 51st Met Pitcher


     Ralph Terry's contract was purchased from the Kansas City A's on August 6th, 1966.  The former Yankee All Star joined the team with a career 3.61 ERA after 11 years in the AL.  Unfortunately, he didn't pitch quite as well, at the tail end of his age 30 season, with the Mets.  In 24.2 innings, Terry tallied a 4.74 ERA, with no wins a loss and a save.  The Mets released Terry in November, only to resign him on April 2nd, 1967.  After only two appearance over a month and a half, the Mets released Ralph a second time on May 16th, 1967.   This date coincides with Bill Denehy's major league debut.   Terry retired afterwards.

     This ball was purchased on eBay.
