Braden Looper
Braden LaVern Looper
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 220 lbs.
Born: October 28, 1974 in Weatherford, OK
Drafted: 1st round 1996 by the St. Louis Cardinals
Acquired: as a free agent, January 2004
Departed: as a free agent, November 2005
It wasn't planned this way by the two
clubs, but for 2004, the Marlins and the Mets exchanged closers, with Braden
Looper taking over the top spot in the New York bullpen, and Armando Benitez
settling in for Florida—each of the two pitchers signing as free agents. Looper
was something of an anomaly in his career—beginning as a relief pitcher but
finishing his career as a starter.
Braden's 1998 Upper Deck card is shown here, and there are scans of more
cards 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 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. I’m still accepting donations, should you
feel so moved. Contact me by following
this link: NYMHall.
