Behold! The power of Topps Vault, who finally released some images of Rich after tossing 29+ innings with a 6.44 in his debut for the Gothams.
To me, having pics like this come to light always drive me over to baseball-reference for some knowledge. Today's re-education was that Rich was part of a 4 v 4 deal with St Louis in the fall of '71. This included the Mets sending St Louisan Art Shamsky back home to the Gateway City, with Art's fellow area standout - Harry Parker - heading out East.
