Wayne Garrett

Ronald Wayne "Red" Garrett
Batted: Left
Threw: Right
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 183 lbs.
Born: December 3, 1947 in Brooksville, FL
Drafted: 6th round 1965 by the Milwaukee Braves
Acquired: selected from the Atlanta Braves in the Rule 5 Draft, December 1968

Despite statistics that are modest by today's standards, Wayne was a mainstay in the Mets' lineup for eight years. He consistently posted good on-base percentages, and played more games at third base for the Mets than anyone in history before him. He slammed two home runs in the 1973 World Series. This is his 1972 Topps card; five more cards 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.
