Charlie Puleo

Charles Michael Puleo
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 200 lbs.
Born: February 7, 1955 in Glen Ridge, NJ
Signed: 1978 by the Toronto Blue Jays
Acquired: sent from the Blue Jays to complete an earlier deal, April 1981; the Blue Jays had traded a player to be named later (Puleo) and cash for Mark Bomback
Departed: traded to the Cincinnati Reds with Jason Felice and Lloyd McClendon for Tom Seaver, December 1982

 

In the only full season he pitched for the Mets, he led the club in starts, innings, and shutouts. Fine contributions all, but his greater value to the New Yorkers of that woeful generation was that he was the main player traded to the Reds when the Mets got Tom Seaver back. Charlie is pictured here on one of his last cards, 1989 Upper Deck. A couple of earlier cards appear below the stats box.

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.
