Matthew Edward "The Dark Knight of Gotham" Harvey
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 225 lbs.

Drafted: 1st round 2010 by the Mets
Departed: traded to the Cincinnati Reds for Devin Mesoraco and cash, May 2018

 

The early days were simply marvelous; actually Matt-Harvelous.  He set a Mets club record for strikeouts in his big-league debut when he mowed down eleven Diamondbacks on 7/26/2012; that figure handily surpassed the previous mark of eight established by Tom Seaver and Bill Denehy in 1967. The next year he burst on the National League like a freight train, completely dominating from the mound and being named the NL starter in the All-Star game.  For awhile every fifth day was a holiday—"Harvey Day," in fact.  Then came the injuries.  In retrospect, it was an awful lot of hoopla over some eventually pedestrian results: Matt actually lost more games for the Mets than he won, and he only ever pitched as many as 100 innings in a season twice for them.  Here's a purple refractor from the 2014 Topps Heritage set; many other 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’m still accepting donations, should you feel so moved.  Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
