The Mets would set a new franchise record by sending an amazing 6 players to the All-Star game in 2006. Four of them were voted in as starters, but not all were able to play. Pedro was named to his 8th All-Star Game, his second as a Met. It would turn out to be his […]
The Mets were once again starting to return to prominence in 2005. They sent 3 players to the All-Star team that year. In his first year with the Mets, Pedro went 15-8 with a 2.82 ERA and 208 strikeouts. Too bad he would never stay healthy enough to sustain that kind of performance. Things might’ve […]
1988 was a bit of another last hoorah for the Mets. Following their unsuccessful run to return to the World Series that year, they began to slowly dismantle the team. They still sent 2 guys to the ASG in 1989, though. Darryl continued his impressive All-Star run with his 6th appearance at the Mid-Summer Classic. […]
The Mets had more All-Stars on their team than ever before in 1986. That should be no surprise, considering they would go on to win the World Series. Doc followed his 1984 Rookie of the Year with a Cy Young in 1985. This earned him the honor of starting the ’86 All-Star Game for the […]
Like the previous season, 1969 saw the Mets send 3 players to the All-Star Game. Cleon Jones had an outstanding year in 1969. He hit .340 on the season, which was 3rd in the League behind Pete Rose and Roberto Clemente. This was his one and only All-Star appearance. He started the game in left […]
In case you didn’t hear, yesterday the Mets beat the Cubs by the score of 17-1. In honor of that feat, here are 17 Mets cards that were part of a massive, 109 card order that I picked up off of Sportlots recently. Enjoy. And just to be fair, the Cubbies did score one run, […]
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 […]
One of the greatest things about this here card collecting hobby and, by extension, blogging about my take on this hobby is the chance to interact with others who love cards as much as I do. I don’t know about you, but in my everyday life, I’m not around a whole lot of people who […]
It’s been quite a spell since I’ve done one of these quarter bin posts. It’s not my fault though, I swear. My local card shop has been kind of sporadic with it lately. Apparently they opened up a second location a couple of towns over and moved a lot of the inventory to that location. […]
I recently completed a trade with fellow Mets fan and Jerseyite Paul from Paul’s Random Baseball Stuff. I always enjoy a good trade in general, but there’s something especially nice about pulling on off with another fan of your favorite team. If nothing else, it helps to clear out some of the massive piles of […]
