Alex Cora

Jose Alexander Cora
Batted: Left
Threw: Right
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 180 lbs.
Born: October 18, 1975 in Caguas, Puerto Rico
Drafted: 3rd round 1996 by the Los Angeles Dodgers
Acquired: as a free agent, January 2009
Departed: released, August 2010

 

Brought in for 2009 to provide backup for Luis Castillo and an occasional rest for Jose Reyes; when Reyes went on the disabled list, Alex's role increased significantly. He had one of the most successful debut seasons ever for a major-league manager, when he brought home the World Championship to the 2018 Boston Red Sox.  Shown here on 2002 MLB Showdown; several other nice-looking 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 am still accepting donations, should you feel so moved.  Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
