Tom Hausman 1975

For DeweyintheHall's 1978 list, here's the Mets' first-ever re-entry draft free agent signee, in the new-for-'78 pullover with 3-stripe rings on the collar and sleeves.

Courtesy of Centerfield Maz. Unfortunate that Tom's hands obscure the team name, though.

Also from Centerfield Maz, but I tried to touch this one up a bit. Tom with his lovely wife, Renée. "The Anna Benson of the 1980s", as one message-board poster fondly recalled.

This last shot is from 1982 (hence time for Tom to have grown that 'stache), but it's still the same uniform. (The racing stripe starts next season.)

The folks at Mets Police want to know what's distracting Tom, that he's not looking at the photographer. As long as it's not how well his campmates are filling out their uniforms, I suppose he'll be okay. (And even then, he might have Renée's okay…it's their business, after all.)

Sadly, Tom isn't checking out anyone or anything these days, having checked out in January 2019 at age 65. But glad to help, anyway.
