Gary Sheffield

Gary Antonian Sheffield
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 190 lbs.
Born: November 18, 1968 in Tampa, FL
Drafted: 1st round 1986 by the Milwaukee Brewers
Acquired: as a free agent, April 2009
Departed: as a free agent, November 2009

Released by the Tigers at the end of Spring Training 2009 and quickly signed by the Mets. His first home run for the Mets—a game-tying, pinch-hit blast—made Gary a member of the 500 Home Run Club, only the 25th in MLB history. He was leading the club in home runs at the All-Star Break in 2009, but didn’t hit another one the rest of the year. He's pictured here on 1999 Flair Showcase, and on many more cards 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 am still accepting donations, should you feel so moved. Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
