Ronald Clyde
Gardenhire
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 175 lbs.
Born: October 24, 1957 in Butzbach, Germany
Drafted: 6th round 1979 by the Mets

Ron was almost the Mets' starting
shortstop for five years, riding the Tidewater-to-New York shuttle frequently
until finally being displaced by Rafael Santana. He's shown here as a rookie on
1982 Donruss, and there are four more cards shown below, three of which depict
Gardy in his more familiar role as manager of the Twins.

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.
