Santos "Iron Pony" Alomar Sr. Conde
Batted: Both
Threw: Right
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 155 lbs.
Born: October 19, 1943 in Salinas, PR
Signed: 1960 by the Milwaukee Braves
Acquired: traded from the Houston Astros for Derrell Griffith, March 1967
Departed: sent to the Chicago White Sox to complete an earlier deal, August 1967; the Mets had traded Ken Boyer and a player to be named later (Alomar) to the White Sox for Bill Southworth and a player to be named later (J. C. Martin)

Best known as the father of Roberto and Sandy Junior (both of whom followed him to call Shea Stadium home for a time), this little infielder's entire tenure with the Mets consisted of starting the season 0-for-22 in 1967, until he became Willie Randolph's bench coach in 2005, moving to third-base coach the following year. Pictured is his card from the 1965 Topps set. Five more cards are shown below.

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 orange I kept out of the deal, just so I'd have something to display in my office and den. At the bottom and in a faint blue tinge 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. I am still accepting donations, should you feel so moved. Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
