Jones spent most of his career with the Padres, notably winning the Cy Young Award in 1976 with a 22 and 14 record.
He had quite a trio of interesting years.
1974--He was 8 and 22
1975--He won 20 game and had a 2.24 ERA
1976--He was Cy Young Award winner with 22 wins.
His time with the Mets was not awe inspiring.
He was 1 and 8 in 1981 with a 4.85 ERA and in '82 he was 7 and 10 with a 4.60 ERA.
He is today's recipient of the very funny Mets Baseball Quote of the Day from one of kings of the malaprops, the late Hall of Famer Jerry Coleman who said of Jones.
"On the mound is Randy Jones, the left hander with the Karl Marx hairdo."
--Jerry Coleman
