Paul Byrd

Paul Gregory Byrd
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 185 lbs.
Born: December 3, 1970 in Louisville, KY
Drafted: 4th round 1991 by the Cleveland Indians
Acquired: traded from the Indians with Jerry Dipoto, Dave Mlicki, and a player to be named later (Jesus Azuaje) for Jeromy Burnitz and Joe Roa, November 1994
Departed: traded to the Atlanta Braves with a player to be named later (Andy Zwirchitz) for Greg McMichael, November 1996

 

Had one-half of a very outstanding year for the Phillies, making the 1999 National League All-Star team, but struggled with arm woes after that. An impressive recovery for Kansas City in 2002 led to him re-signing with the Braves as a free agent. Won 15 games in a season for the third time with the Indians in 2007. Pictured here on his 2000 Fleer Tradition card. A uniform of a more pleasing hue is pictured below (among others).

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.
