Man, I’ve been slacking on this series. I still have 5 positions left to go and only about a month left in the season. 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 […]

1985 was another big year for the Mets when it came to All-Stars. For the second year in a row they sent 4 guys to the game. In his first year with the Mets, Carter was named to his 8th All-Star team. Unfortunately, Terry Kennedy and Ozzie Virgil got all the playing time, leaving Kid […]

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 […]

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.
