HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY:

Paul Mount
The name Al Schmelz just came to me the other day, and in talking to a diehard Mets fan (but only since '86) Al's name and Joe Moock's came up as names of players that I remember from my early days of following the Mets (late '66 and definitely in '67).
But it wasn't until I found your site (after entering "Joe Moock" in altavista and found 9 entries) that I realized what obscure players I had recollected - Joe Moock's 13 games and Al's two!
My friend wants to know if there's an even more detailed database that would tell if Al and Joe ever played in the same game?

Just read a copy of the '67 or '68 yearbook. This guy is in several snapshots. Made it seem like he was going to be the next big thing at Shea! What happened?

Al Schmelz is one of 100 former Arizona State University Sun Devil baseball players to make it to the Major Leagues. He played on the 1965 College World Series championship team.

It appeared that arm problems derailed his career beginning in 1968. Had Tommy John surgery and other modern medical procedures been in existence at that time, perhaps Al would have been able to recover from his injuries to have a long and productive career.
