A pretty good infielder who spent two short
stints at home in Shea. In 1981 as a semi-regular for the White Sox, had a
batting average over .300, which was pretty impressive
for an infielder in those days. Pictured is his card from the 1980 Topps set;
there is also a card below the stats box showing him with the Mets, an obscure
1970s Padres card, and four more attractive cards.

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.
