Kevin Elster
Kevin Daniel Elster
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 180 lbs.
Born: August 3, 1964 in San Pedro, CA
Drafted: 2nd round 1984 by the Mets
Departed: as a free agent, December 1992
Bud Harrelson said of Kevin in the mid-'80s
that he would be the best shortstop the Mets ever had. That lofty prediction
didn't get fulfilled completely, but he was still a good contributor. He also
had one shocking season where he came back from nowhere to drive in 99 runs
from the number nine position in the batting order for the Texas Rangers in
1996. The card pictured was issued just after that year, a 1997 Score Artist's
Proof. More 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.
