This former Dodgers' World Series hero
spent a short time as an infielder for the Mets. For years he held the Mets'
all-time record for triples in one season, his total of nine being unsurpassed
until Mookie Wilson edged him out in the 1980s.
He's pictured here on his 1958 Topps card. Two cards highlighting
Charlie's World Series exploits are shown below, as well as a pretty rare
Morrell Meats card.

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.
