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.
