The Mets signed him for his golden glove, but Mike was also an intriguing combination of power and speed. The day he became a Met, manager Art Howe said, "I think right now, our ERA is half a point lower already." He had a fairly impressive first showing in New York, but unfortunately, the moment he's most remembered for is his horrific face-to-face crash in the outfield with Carlos Beltran in '05. Also one of the small handful of big leaguers who ever hit four home runs in one game. Mike is shown here on a Topps Heritage card from 2001. More cards are pictured below.

This is a list of the cards of this player that I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the ownership of said collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The cards that are listed in light gray print and struck through are cards that were sold for charity prior to my divestiture.  The cards listed in white text are the ones that still remained until that final deal.  Items listed in green I kept out of the deal, just so I'd have something to display in my office and den.  At the bottom and listed in orange text are cards that I picked up after the dealing was done, in order to maintain a certain continuity at this site; that is, so I'd have a card to show you at the top of the page, and maybe in the autographs and game-used areas.  If an orange card is struck through, it has also departed the collection.  I am still accepting donations, should you feel so moved.  Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
