showed up on the roster of the 1962 Mets for a little while. He's pictured here
a decade earlier, on his 1953 Bowman Color card. Below the stats box are more 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 am still
accepting donations, should you feel so moved.

"Shortly after Harry Chiti was
obtained by the Mets, he went to Stengel during an airplane trip and asked
for permission to start a gin-rummy game. Stengel said no. He suggested that
if Chiti, a catcher, had nothing to do he might go over the opposition
hitters. Chiti went to sleep." -- Leonard Schecter 1 |
