Lou played for the Mets briefly in 1989 and
1990, but almost got a chance to be a full-time outfielder for them in 1995. He
was one of the best players on the Mets' replacement squad during the players'
strike of '94-'95. Originally drafted by the Mets, Lou was a Rule 5 pick of the
Toronto Blue Jays in December 1984, and saw almost all of his big-league action
the following season. He's shown here on a ProCards minor league card for the
Tidewater Tides. Another minor-league
card appears 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.
