"Okay, it's official now: Nobody can pitch at Coors Field." That's what I wrote back around 2002 when Mike was flaming out after choosing the Colorado school system over the bright lights of New York. This was, of course, during the pre-humidor days when it seemed like, in fact, nobody could author a successful pitching line for the Rockies.

What a pleasure it was to watch Mike Hampton pitch, hit, run, and field just a year earlier at Shea, though. A terrific athlete and a battler whose never-say-die attitude helped to inspire the 2000 NL Champions. Pictured here is a 2000 Pacific Private Stock Gold Portrait, serial-numbered to 99. There are several more cards 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.
