Marv was one of the early Mets' true folk heroes, symbolizing much of the early spirit of the team: Good cheer through humbling experiences. And let it not be forgotten that the initials of his name actually spelled out "MET." He's shown here on this 1994 Upper Deck All-Time Heroes card missing yet another wild throw to first base. Beneath the stats box there is another card shown, one that has been autographed by Marvelous Marv.
