Mr. Met
Mister Met
Height: 6'10"
Born: 1964 in Flushing, NY
One of the all-time great mascots, Mr. Met
first came to Shea as a misshapen papier-mâché baseball with a smile, and
gradually evolved into the fine happy specimen you see here on this Uno card. A
member of the Mascot Hall of Fame, Mr. Met is believed to be the first team
mascot ever to appear in person; that is, not as a cartoon. Apparently
conceived in 1963, he made his first public appearance in the season Shea
Stadium opened, 1964, and has been a New York icon ever since. The list below
contains all of the miscellaneous Mets-related cards
in my collection. The card shown here is from a 2005 Uno deck, and there are
several more Mets-themed cards displayed on the pages 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.
