Born: July 28, 1986 in Omaha, NE

Three stellar seasons in the Korean
Baseball Organization revived Darin's career after he had apparently left
American baseball for good following his Phillies experience. The Mets paid a high price to get him at the
2022 trade deadline in order to form a DH platoon with
Daniel Vogelbach, and that ultimately proved to be a bad deal for both Darin
and the Mets—possibly one of the worst Mets trades ever. To add insult to injury, after the Mets
released him, the Giants signed him back up at the Mets' expense for the 2023
season. Darin is shown here on a card
from early in his career, on 2014 Topps.

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.
