Eduardo became a Metropolitan for 2022, and the early returns were mixed, but then he had his first defining moment as a Met when he hit for the cycle and drove in six runs in a game against the Padres in early June.  A little later he homered in all three games of a series against the Rangers. And late in the season, with the Mets having fallen back into a tie with the hard-charging Braves, he heroically clubbed the club back into sole possession of first place by driving in all five runs in a 5-4 come-from-behind triumph over the Marlins, including the game-winner in extra innings.  When he started off the next season slowly, he lost the third base starting job to Brett Baty, and was subsequently dealt to the Angels.  Eduardo is shown above on 2015 Topps Heritage as a Twin, and below with his other clubs.

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.  m still accepting donations, should you feel so moved.  Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
