A fan favorite just about everyplace he
played; in Montreal as an expansion Expo, he earned the nickname that he
carried with him for the rest of his career, "Le Grande Orange." In
2001, he achieved new respect in New York as it became widely known that he had
instituted (some years previously) a charitable fund designed to give money to
widows and orphans of NYC firefighters and policemen. He's shown here on his
second Topps card, from 1964. Many more of Rusty's cards are pictured 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.
