This knuckleballer signed a minor-league
deal with the Mets at Christmastime in 2009 and started the next season at
Buffalo. When the rotation fell apart (as rotations inevitably must), he got
called up in May and, against all odds, went on to become the Mets' Pitcher of
the Year for the next three years, culminating in the 2012 NL Cy Young award.
Shown here on 2005 Fleer Tradition, and on several more cards below. In addition to his own autobiography
("Wherever I Wind Up"), R. A.'s fascinating story can be found at
the SABR website by clicking on the banner at the bottom of this page.

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.
