He’d finish his 4-year career with a .208 batting average along with 54 hits and 35 runs scored over 260 at-bats and 178 games, 118 of those games as a rookie during that unexpected NY Mets run to their improbable championship in 1969 when he hit .228 for the “Amazin’s”, with 49 hits over 215 official at-bats while playing all three outfield positions.
Sadly for him that rookie year of 1969 would by far be the most action he’d see in any of his four seasons under the Big League sun, but what a year to have THAT distinction!
