Way back on October 9th of 2015 I created a "missing" 1977 card for Jim Dwyer, using an image of him with the New York Mets that wasn't 100% the quality I normally like to use.
Well I finally came across a much better photo of his brief stint with the team, so here's a do-over of one of my own:
Dwyer missed out on the 1977 Topps set after playing in 61 games
in 1976, good for 119 plate appearances and 105 official at-bats,
hitting .181 for both the Montreal Expos and New York Mets.
Not many usable photos of him out there donning the Mets uni, so I'm sure you're familiar with what you see here.
By the time Dwyer retired after the 1990 season, he appeared in
1328 games with 271 at-bats and 719 hits, good for a lifetime .260
average.
The highpoint of his career had to be as an often worked platoon
guy off the bench for the 1983 World Champion Baltimore Orioles, when he
hit .286 for the O's with 17 doubles and eight home runs in only 196
at-bats.
Not bad "Pig Pen"!
