Bobby Valentine
Robert John Valentine
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 189 lbs.
Born: May 13, 1950 in Stamford, CT
Drafted: 1st round 1968 by the Los Angeles Dodgers
Acquired: traded from the San Diego Padres with Paul Siebert for
Dave Kingman, June 1977
Departed: released, March 1979
A fine prospect for the Dodgers but a
serious injury caused him to miss out on the stardom predicted for him. Got his
measure of fame back, though, by being the charismatic field leader of the 2000
National League Champions. Pictured here is his 1972 Topps card, and below is a
2000 Newark Star-Ledger "card" commemorating the NL Championship
team, along with ten other cards.

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.
