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
