Chuck was the Giants' starting second baseman in 1962, appearing in 161 games and scoring 94 runs, but after 1963, he was never more than a part-time player. Still, he did well for the Mets in the only full season he was at Shea, 1966. His 1967 Topps card is pictured here; below the stats box appears a card depicting what almost had to be Chuck's greatest moment in the big leagues: a grand slam homer in the World Series.

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.
