Respected veteran slugger who signed with the Mets in 2024 just before Spring Training ended.  Unfortunately for J. D. and the Mets, the second half of his season was a resounding clank, as he came just one at-bat short of tying Rey Ordonez’ club record for futility with an 0-for-36 stretch during the most important games of the campaign.  Interesting, though—his ’24 season, which was a dud by his usual standards, still saw him hit about 6% better than a “normal” hitter (basis 106 OPS+).  He is shown here on a 2020 Topps Turkey Red card, and on several more cards 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.
