John Michael Gibbons
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 187 lbs.
Born: June 8, 1962 in Great Falls, MT
Drafted: 1st round 1980 by the Mets
Departed: traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Craig Shipley,
April 1988
Was considered for a time to be the catcher
of the future for the Mets, but he wasn't quite able to seize the opportunity,
and then Gary Carter became a Met. John became a minor-league manager after his
playing career, and finally arrived in the majors for an extended stay when he
became the skipper for the Toronto Blue Jays. John's 1987 TCMA Tidewater Tides
card is shown here. Four more cards displayed 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.
