He was born in Martinez, California. Signed out of high school by the New York Mets on June 12, 1964
The Mets tried him as a starting pitcher, but he only managed a 2-12 record in 16 starts over two years. After spending all of 1968 in the minor leagues, he became a full-time reliever in 1969. Relying on a good screwball, he racked up twelve saves for the Miracle Mets as they went on to win the World Series, but he did not himself pitch in the Fall Classic.
Name this man!
