Neil Allen

Neil Patrick Allen
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 190 lbs.
Born: January 24, 1958 in Kansas City, KS
Drafted: 11th round 1976 by the Mets
Departed: traded to the St. Louis Cardinals with Rick Ownbey for Keith Hernandez, June 1983

The Mets' ace reliever during the terrible days of the early '80s, Neil's greatest contribution to Mets lore is that he was traded in 1983 for Keith Hernandez. Pictured is his card from the 1981 Coca-Cola Mets set, and below the stats box is an oversized card fitting for the early '80s bullpen ace, plus a few more.

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.
