Mario Diaz

Mario Rafael Diaz Torres
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 160 lbs.
Born: January 10, 1962 in Humacao, PR
Signed: 1978 by the Seattle Mariners
Acquired: traded from the Mariners for Brian Givens, June 1990

Mario batted over .300 in his first two looks at big-league pitching, but then doused any unrealistic expectations by batting under .140 in his next two seasons! Still, he served as a backup infielder in the majors for almost a decade. He's pictured here on 1993 Leaf.  Four cards picturing Mario with each of his big-league teams appear 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’m still accepting donations, should you feel so moved.  Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
