Luis Castillo

Luis Antonio Castillo Donato
Batted: Both
Threw: Right
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 145 lbs.
Born: September 12, 1975 in San Pedro de Macoris, DR
Signed: 1992 by the Florida Marlins
Acquired: traded from the Minnesota Twins for Drew Butera and Dustin Martin, July 2007
Departed: released, March 2011

 

A three-time Gold Glove winner with the Marlins and a pesky opponent whenever he faced the Mets, Luis was dealt to New York at the 2007 trade deadline to take the place of broken-legged Jose Valentin, which resulted in his signing a long-term contract following the season. The card pictured here is from 2004 Topps Heritage. He's shown on a card from his Mets days (among others) 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.
