Jim Fregosi

James Louis Fregosi
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 190 lbs.
Born: April 4, 1942 in San Francisco, CA
Signed: 1960 by the Boston Red Sox
Acquired: traded from the California Angels for Nolan Ryan, Don Rose, Leroy Stanton, and Francisco Estrada, December 1971
Departed: purchased by the Texas Rangers, July 1973
Died: February 14, 2014 in Miami, FL

 

Jim was a six-time All-Star shortstop in the American League, and became a relatively successful manager after his retirement, but for Mets fans, he will always be the guy for whom we traded Nolan Ryan. He's shown here on a rare 1971 Topps Greatest Moments card, and below the stats section on a complete 1971 Bazooka box and a couple of 1964 Topps Coins, among others.

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.
