So Mike Piazza has not been voted into the Hall of Fame, getting only 57% of the vote. Apparently though, he’s in good company as no one has been voted in. Since I’ve already scanned them though, here’s some Mikey P. cards that I was going to show had he made the cut. Piazza (and […]

As most people know by now, Chipper Jones has announced his impending retirement from baseball after the end of the 2012 season. As most people also know, Chipper Jones has brutally abused the Mets over the course of his career. Over the course of 19 seasons, Larry has faced the Mets in 239 games, and […]

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 […]

Two members of the New York Mets were named to the N.L. All-Star team in 2004. Glavine was no stranger to the ASG, but this was the first time he made it as a Met. He ended up with a losing record that year, but we was 7-7 with a 2.66 ERA at the break. […]

The Mets would only send one player to the Mid-Summer Classic in 2002. And Piazza was that player. Not surprisingly, he again won the fan voting and got the start behind the plate. Again, he went hitless, but he did drive in a run in the second on a groundout. There was no winner this […]

Coming off of their World Series defeat to the Yankees, the Mets sent 2 players to the ASG in 2001, as well as a manager. Rick Reed made his second All-Star appearance that year. It’s crazy to think he had twice as many All-Star appearances as Edgardo Alfonzo, but hey, baseball’s a crazy sport. For […]

For the first All-Star Game of the new millennium, the Mets sent 3 players to the festivities. Fonzie was named to his first and only All-Star game in 2000. He had a killer year, batting .324 with 25 homers and 94 RBI’s. That’s pretty damn nice from 2nd base. He came into the All-Star game […]

The Mets were back to a one All-Star performance in 1999, but at least he was a legit All-Star and not just chosen because they had to pick someone. Piazza once again donned the tools of ignorance for the National League, starting the game behind the plate. He went 1 for 2 with a strikeout. […]

We’re getting close, but we still have a few years to go. I hope I can get these all done before Friday. In 1998 the Mets once more sent 2 players to the ASG. This guy’s name is synonymous with the term All-Star, isn’t it? I mean, I know when I think of a baseball […]

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, […]
