Garry Lewis Templeton
Batted: Both
Threw: Right
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 190 lbs.
Born: March 24, 1956 in Lockney, TX
Drafted: 1st round 1974 by the St. Louis Cardinals
Acquired: traded from the San Diego Padres for
Tim Teufel, May 1991
Departed: as a free agent, November 1991

 

After Garry's first five seasons in the big leagues, he had a .307 career batting average, three seasons with 13 or more triples, four seasons with more than 25 stolen bases, and a couple of years with 200 hits. In the eleven seasons he played after that, he had a cumulative average of .253 (never reaching .290 again), no season with double figures in triples, only one more with 25 steals, and only one more with at least 150 hits. Still, he was a respected veteran leader for the Padres, and they never seemed to regret having traded Ozzie Smith for him even-up. He's shown here on a card from the 1989 Padres Magazine, and his Topps rookie card is among the many shown 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’m still accepting donations, should you feel so moved.  Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
