Had a good year as a starter in 1969, then had a tremendous season as a reliever the next year. Compiled a fine career ERA despite struggling badly his last three seasons. Pictured here is a 1970s Kelloggs card, featuring the cracked plastic that is common to those issues. Pictured below is a 1969 Topps Decal, a miniature-sized insert that used the same design as the regular cards that year, but with many different photos. Four more cards are pictured below as well.

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 am still accepting donations, should you feel so moved. Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
