About Cleon Jones
This 1967 Topps #165, from the second series, carries the Topps All-Star Rookie trophy design, marking Jones' selection to the 1966 All-Star Rookie team. On the field that season he shared outfield time with Larry Stahl and battled through a slow start before settling in, finishing at .246 with 5 home runs and 30 RBIs over 129 games.
Cleon Joseph Jones, born August 4, 1942 in Plateau, a section of Mobile, Alabama, signed with the New York Mets as an amateur free agent in July 1962 after standout ball at Alabama A&M and with the Grambling State Tigers. A left-handed-throwing right-handed hitter with strong outfield range, he spent thirteen major league seasons, twelve of them with the Mets, before finishing his career with the Chicago White Sox in 1976. Jones anchored the Mets outfield through the franchise's rise from losing club to 1969 World Series champion, earning an All-Star selection that season while hitting a team-record .340. He remained a steady Mets regular into the mid-1970s, closing out a career line of a .281 batting average with 93 home runs and 524 RBIs. After retiring as a player, Jones returned to the Mets organization as a minor-league hitting instructor, helping develop future major leaguers. He was inducted into the New York Mets Hall of Fame in 1991 and later into the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame.
