Kevin Appier

Robert Kevin Appier
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 200 lbs.
Born: December 6, 1967 in Lancaster, CA
Drafted: 1st round 1987 by the Kansas City Royals
Acquired: as a free agent, December 2000
Departed: traded to the Anaheim Angels for Mo Vaughn, December 2001

Kevin's first several seasons in the AL with the Royals were as dominant as anyone's in the league at the time. He came to the Mets as a free agent during the December meetings of 2000, had one fine year with them, and then was traded to Anaheim for Mo Vaughn. Pictured here on his 1994 Fleer League Leaders insert. Over a dozen more Kevin Appier pieces 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.
