Red had a long career in the big leagues as
a player and a coach. He was with the Mets during their inaugural campaign of
1962, but passed away that winter, becoming the first man in history who wore
the Mets uniform to die, although he was followed rather quickly by fellow
coach Rogers Hornsby. He's pictured here on his 1955 Topps card. There are
several more Red Kress cards pictured below, some of the oldest cards in my
collection.

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.
