Orel Hershiser

Orel Leonard Quinton Hershiser IV
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 195 lbs.
Born: September 16, 1958 in Buffalo, NY
Drafted: 17th round 1979 by the Los Angeles Dodgers
Acquired: as a free agent, March 1999

Borderline Hall of Fame candidate who would be a shoo-in if it hadn't been for injury problems midway through his career. During his season with the Mets, Orel recorded both his 200th victory and his 2,000th strikeout. This beautiful card is from the 1995 Topps Stadium Club Virtual Reality set. Several more cards, including some very interesting oddball pieces, are 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.
