Besides the cards shown, Kingman appeared as a Met in 1977 and a Cub in 1980.
He went from Mets to Cubs to Mets in his career. In 1977 he was a Met and in 1978 he was a Cub. It was big news in 1977 when he went from the Mets to the Padres to the Angels to the Yankees. Not only did he play in each of the four divisions, he homered as a member of each team that season.
He was traded to the Padres in June, picked up off of waivers by the Angels on September 6th and traded to the Yankees nine days later. In November he signed with the Cubs as a free agent,
The Cubs traded him to the Mets before the 1981 season began.
He led the league in homers twice. As a Cub with 48 and as a Met with 37. Advantage Cubs.
He led the league in strikeouts three times. As a Cub he had 131 and as a Met he had 156. Advantage Cubs.
He led the league in slugging percentage once as a Cub. Advantage Cubs.
