Tony was thought of so highly early in his
career that he was placed on this Donruss Triple Play Medalists card with
fellow super-shortstops Cal Ripken and Alan Trammell, both of whom are in the
Hall of Fame. And as you will notice, it's Tony who got the gold medal, not the
other guys. And get this: His 1999 season, which (for a time) looked like it
would be his last in the major leagues, produced career highs in doubles, runs
batted in, bases on balls, on-base percentage, and batting average! And it's not
like that was an anomaly, either, because it was almost a carbon copy of his
1998 season. Why didn't somebody re-sign this guy? Well, after spending the
2000 season in Japan (finishing fourth in the league with a .327 average), Tony
came back for one last fling with the Blue Jays in 2001, for whom he played
four separate times. When he died all too young in 2020 at the age of 57, he
was still the Blue Jays' all-time leader in (among other things) bWAR. More cards from his All-Star career are
pictured 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. Contact me by following
this link: NYMHall.
