Weight: 195 lbs.
Born: July 30, 1957 in Big Rapids, MI

Clint was a much-ballyhooed prospect for the Royals, but only twice appeared in as many as 100 games in the big leagues. After his playing career was over, he became a manager, and he was named NL Manager of the Year as skipper of the 2013 Pittsburgh Pirates.  Clint is pictured here on 1979 Topps; cards from his stints as manager of the Colorado Rockies and Pittsburgh Pirates are among those 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.
