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
