Billy's first stolen base for the Mets was
the 300th of his career, which left him only 615 more to go to become the
leading base stealer named Billy Hamilton in Major League history. No, this isn't Sliding Billy Hamilton from
the 1800s, but—at least superficially—he played a similar game. Lots of speed and defense. Although technically one of the worst hitters
in the big leagues, at least as far as OPS+ and other similar rate stats were
concerned, it gave me a lot of joy to watch him effortlessly patrolling center
field in his limited Mets tenure. Billy
is shown here on 2015 Topps Archives. A
sampling of cards from his career is shown 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.
