Alex Escobar
Alexander Jose Escobar
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 180 lbs.
Born: September 6, 1978 in Valencia, Venezuela
Signed: 1995 by the Mets
Departed: traded to the Cleveland Indians with Matt Lawton, Jerrod
Riggan, and two players to be named later (Earl Snyder and
Billy Traber) for Roberto Alomar, Mike
Bacsik, and Danny Peoples, December 2001
Alex arrived in New York preceded by more
hype than any Mets' outfield prospect since Jay Payton, or maybe even Darryl
Strawberry. Before he could show whether he was worth the hoopla, however, he
was sent to Cleveland in the Roberto Alomar deal. The card shown here is from
2000 Bowman's Best; four more cards are shown below the stats box.

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.
