Born: March 21, 1939 in Brooklyn, NY
Signed: 1956 by the Brooklyn Dodgers
Acquired: traded from the Los Angeles Dodgers with Derrell Griffith for Ron Hunt and Jim Hickman, November 1966

On this 1963 Topps card, Tommy is surrounded by three Hall of Famers and one future National League president. And he's in the diamond in the center, because he beat out all those other luminaries for the batting championship in 1962. Also, in the only season he played for the Mets, he led the club in all of the Triple Crown categories, as well as slugging percentage and on-base percentage. Not too bad. Over a dozen more Tommy Davis items are pictured below, including another star-studded batting championship card.

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.
