Omar was hired as the Mets' general manager after the conclusion of
the 2004 season, after serving in a similar capacity for the last three years
of the Montreal Expos' history. Prior to that, he was an assistant to Mets GM
Steve Phillips, and prior to that, he worked in the Texas Rangers' system,
helping to develop Sammy Sosa and Juan Gonzalez. He made a huge splash almost
immediately on the back pages of the NY tabloids by signing Pedro Martinez.
Here is what I believe to be the only card ever produced of Omar, from 1981
TCMA.
Update: in 2007, Topps Co-Signers produced a card featuring the
autographs of New York general managers Omar and Brian Cashman. I don't have one.
