Kaz Matsui
Kazuo Matsui
Batted: Both
Threw: Right
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 185 lbs.
Born: October 23, 1975 in Osaka, Japan
Signed: 2003 by the Mets
Departed: traded to the Colorado Rockies with cash for Eli Marrero,
June 2006
Seven-time All-Star, four-time Gold Glove
winner, and one-time MVP in Japan, Kaz came to the Mets in 2004 to team at the
keystone sack with whiz kid Jose Reyes. His best moments with the Mets came in
the first at-bats of each of his three seasons: three home runs! The card
pictured here is from after his MLB career, on the 2013 Topps Tribute WBC set;
there are several more cards pictured below, including an inspirational 2001
Seibu Lions pocket schedule that urges us to Hit! Foot! Get!

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.
