Weight: 180 lbs.
Born: May 25, 1985 in New Brunswick, NJ

When Eric was designated for assignment by the Rockies, and Collin McHugh similarly designated by the Mets, the two teams engineered an even-up swap. Eric's dad was an All-Star second baseman for the Rockies who stole over 400 bases in his career. Eric Jr. led the National League in stolen bases in 2013, seventeen years after Eric Sr. pulled off the same feat with the 1996 Rockies. The card shown here is a refractor from the 2009 Bowman Sterling set. Half a dozen more 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'm still accepting donations, should you feel so moved.  Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
