Known as "The Walking Man" during
his playing days due to his uncanny knack for drawing bases on balls (although
he only batted .254 for his career, he had a career on-base percentage of a
whopping .394!). Eddie, who was the third base coach for the 1969 Miracle Mets,
is pictured here on his 1952 Topps card. A bunch of 1950s Bowmans are among
those 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.
