Bruce Bochy

Bruce Douglas Bochy
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 210 lbs.
Born: April 16, 1955 in Landes De Bussac, France
Drafted: 1st round 1975 by the Houston Astros
Acquired: traded from the Astros for two players to be named later (Stan Hough and Randy Rogers), February 1981

Bruce, of course, moved on to great success as the field manager of the San Diego Padres and three-time World Champion San Francisco Giants.  After a brief retirement, came back to the helm of the resurgent Texas Ranger and quickly won his fourth World Championship.  Did you know he spent a handful of games as a Mets backup catcher? He is shown here in his more well-known role, from Mother's Cookies.  Several more cards appear 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.
