We’ve already looked at the managers, catchers, Opening Day starting pitchers, first basemen and second basemen. We’ve also gone through the players the Mets have sent to the All-Star Game every […]

The Mets were about to start another run of only sending one guy to the ASG beginning in 1980. It seems like a lot of guys would be sort of bummed out to be on a team like the Mets during the late 70’s and early 80’s. I mean, who wants to be stuck on […]

This is the fourth post in this series. We’ve looked at the field generals, the men who’ve donned the tools of ignorance, and the guys who’ve thrown the first pitch of the season. Today we’ll be taking a trip back through time to see who’s covered the first base bag for the Mets throughout their […]

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 […]

Today we’ll take a look at a couple of cards that I got to chip away at my manager and team cards collection. 1980 Topps #302 Dodgers / Tommy Lasorda I had never really realized this before, but I’m pretty sure that this is my first Tommy Lasorda card. I find that pretty amazing just […]

I don’t know what was more shocking, hearing the news that after 10 years they finally tracked down and killed Osama Bin Laden or that the Mets were somehow able to avoid the sweep at the hand of Cliff Lee and the Phillies. Here’s some more quarter cards. It’s a veritable smorgasbord of 1970’s cardboard […]
