Chuck Hernandez

Carlo Amado Hernandez
Batted: Left
Threw: Left
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 200
Born: November 11,  1960 in Tampa, FL
Drafted: 1st round 1979 by the New York Yankees

 

Chuck had a five-year minor-league career as a left-handed pitcher after being a first-round draft pick by the Yankees in 1979.  He never rose above a brief stop at the AA level, though (his career was ended by a broken arm), but later became a respected pitching coach for the Tigers, Marlins, and Braves, as well as in the minor league and college ranks, and serving on major-league coaching staffs for the Angels, Devil Rays, and Indians too.  He joined the Mets staff as bullpen coach for 2019 but was fired less than halfway through that season.  The card pictured here is a 1989 ProCards issue featuring Chuck from early in his coaching career with the Edmonton Trappers.

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.
