After five seasons in their farm system, where he batted .277 with twelve home runs & 150 runs batted in, Boisclair received a September call-up from the Mets in 1974.

He batted .250 with one RBI (against the Philadelphia Phillies) over the remainder of the season.\n', '

He failed to make the big league club out of Spring training 1975, and was assigned to the triple A Tidewater Tides, where he spent the entire season.
