Playing career, in brief: Second baseman Ken Boswell came up with the Mets in 1967 and had some rough patches in the field and at the plate. However, he hit well in the stretch run of the Mets' 1969 World Series run, and hit a home run in the NLCS. In 1970 his defense improved greatly, with a record errorless-games streak. However, his batting did not improve and he was eventually traded to the Astros, for whom he was a backup from 1975 to 1977. Overall in 930 games he hit .248 with 31 HR and 244 RBI.
Post-playing career, in brief: Since his retirement from baseball Boswell has worked in antique auto sales and owns a ranch in Texas.
My collection: I have 11 of his cards, from 1969 to 1977. I would be interested in trading for 1971 Dell Today's Team Stamps #NNO.
