Bill
Dickey
William Malcolm Dickey
Batted: Left
Threw: Right
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 185 lbs.
Born: June 6, 1907 in Bastrop, LA

Died: November 12, 1993 in Little Rock, AR
The information at the back of the 1964
book "The Amazing Mets" lists Bill as one of the Mets' coaches. This
was not entirely true, in the sense that we count coaches today. What he actually did was serve a short-term stint as a special
instructor for catchers during Spring Training 1963. My sincerest thanks go to
Dr. Fred Worth of Henderson State University for his help in researching this
fact; he tracked down the article from the March 14, 1963
edition of The Washington Post, Times Herald that verified this arcane bit of
trivia. The card shown is from the 2000 US Playing Cards All-Century Team set.
Four more beautiful cards are shown below.

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.
