Benny Agbayani

Benny Peter Agbayani, Jr.
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 225 lbs.
Born: December 28, 1971 in Honolulu, HI
Drafted: 30th round 1993 by the Mets
Departed: traded to the Colorado Rockies with
Todd Zeile and cash as part of a three-team trade, January 2002; the Mets sent Lenny Harris and Glendon Rusch to the Milwaukee Brewers; the Rockies sent Craig House and Ross Gload to the Mets; the Rockies sent Alex Ochoa to the Brewers; the Brewers sent Jeff D'Amico, Jeromy Burnitz, Lou Collier, Mark Sweeney, and cash to the Mets

 

A fan favorite at Shea Stadium, the burly Hawaiian came from no-prospect status to become a key component on the 2000 NL Champions. After his big-league tenure was complete, he went to Japan, where he was reunited with manager Bobby Valentine, and rewarded him with a season in which he batted .315 with 35 home runs and 100 RBI. Pictured here is his card from the 1996 Best Binghamton Mets set; more cards are pictured 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.
