Dan Norman

Daniel Edmund Norman
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 195 lbs.
Born: January 11, 1955 in Los Angeles, CA
Drafted: 15th round 1974 by the Cincinnati Reds
Acquired: traded from the Reds with
Doug Flynn, Steve Henderson, and Pat Zachry for Tom Seaver, June 1977
Departed: traded to the Montreal Expos with
Jeff Reardon for Ellis Valentine, May 1981

 

Dan was a fine outfield prospect for the Reds, but came to the Mets in the regrettable Tom Seaver trade. He spent several years in the majors, but never really reached the heights hoped for him. He spent time coaching in the Mets' minor league system following his playing days. This is his 1981 Fleer card. A card from the short-lived Senior League is shown below, as well as an autographed minor-league 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.
