Kevin Mitchell

Kevin Darnell "World" Mitchell
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 210 lbs.
Born: January 13, 1962 in San Diego, CA
Signed: 1980 by the Mets
Departed: traded to the San Diego Padres with Kevin Armstrong, Kevin Brown, Shawn Abner, and Stan Jefferson for Kevin McReynolds, Gene Walter, and Adam Ging, December 1986

His able work during the 1986 Championship season forced George Foster out of a job, and he won the National League MVP award in 1989 by smashing 47 home runs in an age where that was a rarity. He's shown here on his card from the beautiful 1990 Scoremasters set. Cards from each of his major-league stops 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 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.
