Former Yankees' Hall of Famer who joined the Mets' coaching staff just for the 1962 season. The postcard pictured below the stats is one produced by the Baseball Hall of Fame, and the card shown here at the top is a reprint of 1930s Diamond Stars.  Six more cards pay tribute to his Hall-of-Fame career below … even though, if he posted the same numbers today, he might have to buy a ticket to get in.

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.
