Gary Pettis

Gary George Pettis
Batted: Both
Threw: Right
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 165 lbs.
Born: April 3, 1958 in Oakland, CA
Drafted: 6th round 1979 by the California Angels

 

Gary became the Mets' first-base coach starting in 2003: a hard job to fill, because he took the place of New York icon Mookie Wilson. His best seasons as a player came in 1985-86 with the California Angels, as he cumulatively stole more than a hundred bases in those two years and was a Gold Glove winner. Pictured here is Gary's rookie card, from the 1984 Donruss set.  More cards and stickers, from small to big, are pictured 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.
