The story on this card
This card reports on the 1963 New York Mets, who finished last in the National League at 51-111, 48 games behind the pennant-winning Dodgers, in their final season at the Polo Grounds before the move to Shea Stadium. Casey Stengel, a future Hall of Fame manager on the strength of his Yankees dynasty years, ran the club, and the roster carried two more future Hall of Famers: Gil Hodges, the slugging former Dodgers first baseman in his last season as a Met, and outfielder Duke Snider, once part of the famed Dodgers-Giants-Yankees center-field trio of the 1950s. Card number 27 belongs to the ordinary first print series.
