Bruce Chen

Bruce Kastulo Chen
Batted: Both
Threw: Left
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 210 lbs.
Born: June 19, 1977 in Panama City, Panama
Signed: 1993 by the Atlanta Braves
Acquired: traded from the Philadelphia Phillies with Adam Walker for Dennis Cook and Turk Wendell, July 2001
Departed: traded to the Montreal Expos with Luis Figueroa, Dicky Gonzalez, and a player to be named later (Saul Rivera) for Scott Strickland, Phil Seibel, and Matt Watson, April 2002

 

Obtained by the Mets near the 2001 trading deadline along with minor leaguer Adam Walker for bullpen stalwarts Turk Wendell and Dennis Cook, and traded away in the first week of 2002 for more bullpen help, in the form of Scott Strickland. If you'll take a look at Bruce's stats below, though, you'll see that getting traded was not exactly a rarity in his career! Pictured here is his World Premiere subset card from the 1999 Upper Deck Ovation set.  Beneath the stats box there is a card picturing him with the Royals, for whom he enjoyed some success later in his career, and a couple of others too.

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.
