Share your memories of Bob Moorhead HERE IS WHAT OTHER METS FANS HAVE TO SAY: Scott October 16, 2002 One of only a few guys to pitch over 100 innings in a season and not get a win. Great claim to fame. Joe Figliola October 16, 2002 There's an old newsreel of the 1962 Mets' ticker tape parade, and Bob is prominently featured. He is riding in a convertible with Gus Bell and a third Met (I think it was Al Jackson, I'm not sure). When you go winless for one of the worst teams of all time, we fans need to appreciate as many positive things as we can, no matter how trivial they are! Jonathan Stern December 17, 2002 I heard from someone that Moorehead effectively ended his pitching career after he got so unhappy after a particularly bad Mets loss that he punched a wall with his pitching hand and broke it. So much for the notion that the Casey Stengel Mets were a fun team to be around. Ed K February 15, 2005 I believe Bob was the first Met to throw a knuckle ball although it was not his regular pitch. No other knuckleball pitchers came along on the Mets until Dennis Springer decades later, and (if you want to count him) Todd Zeile pitching in a blowout game. jamey bumbalo November 17, 2005 How's this for trivia? Bob Moorhead appeared on one baseball card, an extremely rare 1962 Topps card (#593) that showed five rookie pitchers (Topps' first rookie cards). Four of the five--Moorhead, Craig Anderson, Jack Hamilton, and Jack Lamabe--pitched for the Mets at one time or another. The fifth guy was Bob Veale, a very fine pitcher for the Pirates. Since Moorhead is so obscure, I hope somebody sees this posting! Don Lehmer October 1, 2006 Bob went to Lemoyne High School in Pa. My brother was one of his classmates. Bob would always walk around the hallways of the school squeezing a rubber ball saying that he hoped his hand would get even stronger so he could play in the majors. He seemed like a real good guy. We are proud that he got his start here in Lemoyne. After baseball he ended up working for a trucking company in the Lemoyne area. Shickhaus Franks April 28, 2014 Became the 1st Mets pitcher to give up a home run to Hank Aaron. Out of the 755 HR's, Aaron hit 43 vs the Mets (not counting Spring Training or the 1969 NLCS). For the record, Tom Seaver gave up 5 Home Runs. Larry Hesketh May 24, 2021 I played football, basketball, and baseball against Bob. He played for Lemoyne and I played for New Cumberland. To Ed K.'s knuckleball comment... in our senior year, I was batting against Bob in NC, and he had two strikes on me. He threw hard and fast, even back in the Little Leagues at age 12! Frazier tobacco-chewing, Ty Cobb batting style senior, was catching. I was expecting one of his flame-throwing fastballs, and here comes a floating, hopping knuckler! I was so surprised and shocked, I froze! Nothing even resembling a swing came from my mind or bat! It was a perfect strike and I was out! Just watched a Hoyt Wilhelm video, and that brought me to Bob's major league info. Jamey B. I saw your posting! Jonathon S. - I heard it was a steel Wall locker. It was a career-ending punch.
