Angel who has been sharing his yearbook collection with us, also has this in his collection:
Hi, Shannon.
Attached are photos of the twelve Mets who have been immortalized as McFarlane Sports Picks.
Before you start getting bombarded with e-mails-I know that some players such as Piazza, Martinez, and Reyes have been graced with multiple figures. I just thought I’d show one each of the twelve different players.
I originally was just going to photograph them off of my shelves. But thought they might look better in a baseball setting, so I shot them at my local Little League field .
FYI. There is a Nolan Ryan figure in the works with a Mets uniform. For anyone who might not know who the players are, in no particular order, they are as follows:
– Tom Seaver
– Mike Piazza
– Willie Mays
– David Wright
– Jose Reyes
– Roberto Alomar
– Carlos Beltran
– Johan Santana
– Pedro Martinez
– Tom Glavine
– Carlos Delgado
– Billy Wagner
Nice shots. I’ve got the Mays one in a NY Giants uni signed by McFarlane somewhere in this apartment. No idea where though right now.
It’s a nice touch how they made Roberto Alomar’s Mets likeness in a sleeping position. I think that one’s also made out of balsa wood.
I still have my starting lineup figures from the 1st year they made them with the mets wearing road jerseys. I have to go to my storage spot and get them and post some pics
Wow, I didn’t realize they did Willie. Not sure I can deal with Piazza in black. I might still get it, though. I do have the Johan in the road gray, which I prefer.
