Was regarded as a brilliant center-fielder early in his career, but by the time he got to the Mets, he had lost a couple of steps.  Still, it's notable how many special cards he appeared on throughout his big-league tenure that bore a special relationship to his affair with the glove.  One such card is shown here, 2019 Topps Big League Wall Climbers.  Another one, 2016 Topps Gypsy Queen Glove Stories, appears below, along with other more pedestrian offerings.

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.
