The Glider helped nail down third base
during the miracle season of 1969, and then happily retired from playing. True
Met fans will recognize the picture at the right as being his celebratory leap
following the final out of the '69 World Series, courtesy of 1994 Upper Deck
All-Time Heroes. He's pictured below on a Topps Stand-Up card and coin from
1964, as well as a couple of other oddball issues.

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 am still accepting donations, should you
feel so moved. Contact me by following
this link: NYMHall.
