Joe is shown on this card (1969 Topps)
wearing his New York pinstripes, though he pitched for the Twins that year.
That same season marked the only team he reached the post-season, as he pitched
to two batters in the LCS and retired them both. Following his retirement, Joe was elected to

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.
