This guy's 1967 baseball card was hilarious -- he looked like a 15-year-old with his jug ears and everything including his cap seemed too big for him. His numbers weren't bad, though -- I guess he got a sore arm.

69 innings 25 strikeouts and 51 walks. That is impressive.

I remember when Hepler came up to the Mets in 1966. He was twenty going on twenty-one. I turned twelve in the summer of 1966 and I swear I looked older than Hepler!

He was also very thin if I remember correctly. I see he is listed at six feet and 160 pounds. He certainly had trouble throwing strikes as you can see from his stats.

I met him once in Florida in the '70s when he worked for my father. Nice guy - looked better than his baseball card. He was missing his baseball days since injury cut his career short. I'll bet it's a rough road to go from being a star to just being one of the guys. But he should have great stories to tell his kids/grandkids.

Interesting statistical line on Bill Hepler. 69 innings pitched, gave up 71 hits and 51 walks. That's almost two base runners every inning, yet he had a not too bad ERA of 3.52. Creates the impression of a young pitcher who pitched his way into and out of a lot of jams. Plus a 3-3 .500 record, which was all right for a Met pitcher in those days; makes you wonder why he didn't stick around longer. Must have hurt his arm or something.
