I’ve got to get this up before 4:10. Of course I had to leave right field for last. The Mets have had more right fielders in their history than any other position. Typical. Anyway… In honor of the 50th Anniversary of the New York Mets, I’ve been looking at the primary players at each position […]

Thus starts some dark days for the New York Mets. Gone are the seasons of sending multiple players to the Mid-Summer Classic. For a while at least. John Stearns was the Mets only representative at the ASG in 1977. Tom Seaver was there based partly on his 7-3 start with the Mets, but he was […]

1976 was a bit of a last hoorah for the Mets as far as All-Star’s go. Dave Kingman made his first All-Star appearance in his second year in Queens. He started the game in right field and went 0 for 2 with a strikeout. Jon Matlack made his third and final All-Star team, thanks to […]

Being that this is the 50th Anniversary of the existence of the Mets, I’m taking a look at the guys who have played each position for the team throughout the years. In cardboard form, of course. Now, since I don’t want to sit here and scan 1,000,000 cards so that I can show every single […]

We’ll finish thing off with the cards that fall into the “other” category. 1977 Topps #63 Tito Fuentes There were several factors that led to me liberating this particular card from […]

Sadly, Hall of Famer and all around awesome guy Gary Carter has lost his battle with brain cancer. He was 57. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this heart breaking time. We’ll miss you, Kid.

What better way to kick off the holiday weekend than to keep going with the stuff I got from Project ’62 for doing his custom relic card? Step into the time machine where we’ll zoom on back to 1977. Watch your arms. I’ve always loved the legend of Dock Ellis, even if this particular card […]
