Jim had spent time as manager of five
different major-league clubs by the time he joined the Mets as their bench
coach for the 2019 season. An infielder
in the minors, he never made it to the big leagues as a player, but his
managerial career spanned 25 years in the majors. In the process, he had teams that finished
2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th in their divisions, but never 1st. He did make it into the playoffs once,
though, with the Wild Card-winning Chicago Cubs in 1998. Jim is pictured here on a 2012 Choice team
set card of the Pensacola Blue Wahoos; below the
stats he is shown during the earlier days of his managerial career, in the
Puerto Rican Winter League.

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. m still accepting donations,
should you feel so moved. Contact me by
