I know it was only an exhibition, but for my 1978 project I would still like to include him if he did suit up, maybe with an asterisk. Does anyone out there know whether he was called to big club and whether he played? A box score would be appreciated as well. Thanks!

The New York Times of April 28 covered the game, but unfortunately for your purposes, they mentioned the Yankees a lot more than the Mets. For example, they cited all the Yankees pitchers -- Catfish Hunter, Ed Figueroa, Dick Tidrow, Ron Guidry, and Jim Beattie. But they didn't mention any of the Mets' hurlers, and there was no box score.
The Yankees won 4-3 in 13 innings before a crowd of 9,792.
