Billy Beane

William Lamar Beane
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'4"
Weight: 195 lbs.
Born: March 29, 1962 in Orlando, FL
Drafted: 1st round 1980 by the Mets
Departed: traded to the Minnesota Twins with Joe Klink and Bill Latham for Tim Teufel and Pat Crosby, January 1986

Not much of a hitter in his big-league career, but found his place in the sun when he became one of the most celebrated young general managers in the game, helping to create the perennial AL Western Division Champion Oakland Athletics. A Billy Beane page would not be complete without a reference to "Moneyball," so there you go. Pictured here is a 1985 TCMA Mets Postcard. Below is a card showing Billy in his more famous role.

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 am still accepting donations, should you feel so moved. Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
