He was a clutch pitcher during the stretch drive of the Mets 1969 World Series, winning five games in a row. Though overall his record with the Mets was 20--34, he only had a 3.31 ERA.
As a great hitting pitcher and a clutch performer in 1969, the Mets baseball birthday quote of the Day goes to Don Cardwell.
"When Cardy is right, he is among the very best pitchers in the entire league."
--Goldie Holt
