Matt Ginter

Matthew Shane Ginter
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 220 lbs.
Born: December 24, 1977 in Winchester, KY
Drafted: 1st round 1999 by the Chicago White Sox
Acquired: traded from the White Sox for Timo Perez, March 2004
Departed: traded to the Detroit Tigers for Steve Colyer, April 2005

The Mets obtained Matt during Spring Training 2004 from the White Sox for Timo Perez, and he made his NL debut in mid-May, filling in for Al Leiter. It was his first major-league start, and he faced Roger Clemens, doing an admirable job and pitching to a no-decision. His next start produced his first (and only) Met victory. Matt is shown here on a Grandstand minor league card from 2000, and as a Met below, with cards from each of his other big-league stops as well.

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.
