As thin as the Mets' pitching staffs were
in the early 1960s, you have to look at Grover Powell's statistics from his
only big-league season and ask yourself, "Why didn't he get another
chance?" A little more research informed me that he hurt his arm during
winter ball in Venezuela following the '63 season. He recovered enough to record one more really
good season in the minors, going 16-7 with a 2.68 ERA in 195 innings in 1968,
but he never made it back to the majors.
He died of leukemia at the tender age of 44 in 1985. Shown here on his 1964 Topps card.

This is a list of the cards of this player that
I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the ownership of said
collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The cards that are listed
in light gray print and struck through are cards that were sold for charity
prior to my divestiture. The cards listed in white text are the ones
that still remained until that final deal. Items listed in green I
kept out of the deal, just so I'd have something to display in my office and
den. At the bottom and listed in orange text are cards that I picked
up after the dealing was done, in order to maintain a certain continuity at
this site; that is, so I'd have a card to show you at the top of the page, and
maybe in the autographs and game-used areas. If an orange card is
struck through, it has also departed the collection. I’m still
accepting donations, should you feel so moved. Contact me by
following this link: NYMHall.
