Wayne Garrett

Ronald Wayne "Red" Garrett
Batted: Left
Threw: Right
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 183 lbs.
Born: December 3, 1947 in Brooksville, FL
Drafted: 6th round 1965 by the Milwaukee Braves
Acquired: selected from the Atlanta Braves in the Rule 5 Draft, December 1968
Departed: traded to the Montreal Expos with Del Unser for Jim Dwyer and Pepe Mangual, July 1976

 

Despite statistics that are modest by today's standards, Wayne was a mainstay in the Mets' lineup for eight years. He consistently posted good on-base percentages, and played more games at third base for the Mets than anyone in history before him. He slammed two home runs in the 1973 World Series. This is his 1972 Topps card.
