Eric Chavez

Eric Cesar Chavez
Batted: Left
Threw: Right
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 215 lbs.
Born: December 7, 1977 in Los Angeles, CA
Drafted: 1st round 1996 by the Oakland Athletics

 

Eric was a terrific third baseman in the American League until lingering back problems derailed him from his possible Hall-of-Fame trajectory.  He won six Gold Gloves and a Silver Slugger award, and received MVP votes in four straight seasons.  If you think about it, his career arc was vaguely similar to that of David Wright.  In 2022, Eric was on track to be the assistant hitting coach for the Yankees, but the Mets made him a better offer, and he came across town as the hitting coach for the Amazins.  The next year he was promoted to the position of Buck Showalter's top lieutenant, the bench coach.  Chavez is pictured here on 2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces, and on several more cards lower on the page.

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.
