One of the most beloved father figures in
New York baseball history, Don played for the Brooklyn Dodgers, was the Mets'
Opening Day third baseman in their first game ever, and finally served several very
successful seasons as Joe Torre's bench coach with the Yankees. He often
boasted that he never earned a dollar that was not related to baseball somehow.
Pictured here on his 1962 Topps card, and there are ten more cards shown
beneath Don's stats.

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.
