As a fan of the TV comedy "The Goldbergs," I was delighted when the Mets announced that Ruben Amaro, Jr. was their new first-base coach in November 2017. As a player, he was less than spectacular, but he made a name for himself as the general manager of the Phillies following his playing career. So it was something of a surprise when he returned to the diamond as a coach for the Red Sox after his inevitable dismissal as Phillies' GM. Nevertheless, here he is, on his 1992 Upper Deck card. After a single season as a member of the Mets' staff, he joined the front office as an advisor to new GM Brodie Van Wegenen.

This is a list of the cards of this player that I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the ownership of said collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The cards that are listed in light gray print and struck through are cards that were sold for charity prior to my divestiture. The cards listed in white text are the ones that still remained until that final deal. Items listed in green I kept out of the deal, just so I'd have something to display in my office and den. At the bottom and listed in orange text are cards that I picked up after the dealing was done, in order to maintain a certain continuity at this site; that is, so I'd have a card to show you at the top of the page, and maybe in the autographs and game-used areas. If an orange card is struck through, it has also departed the collection. m still accepting donations, should you feel so moved. Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
