Wilmer Flores
Wilmer Alejandro
Flores Garcia
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 190 lbs.
Born: August 6, 1991 in Valencia, Carabobo, VZ
Signed: 2007 by the Mets

Wilmer became a Met in 2013 after years of
speculation and hype, taking over most of the third base duties while David
Wright was on the disabled list. Two
years later had become, against all odds, the starting shortstop. The following two years he spent much of his
time at second base, and in 2018 made the most starts at first base, completing
an unlikely trip backwards around the infield as a starting player. His teary-eyed anticipation of a proposed
trade to Milwaukee at the 2015 trade deadline endeared him to Mets fans in a
way that seemed almost unique among the sporting populace. Unfortunately, Wilmer developed early-onset
arthritis in both of his knees that was revealed late in the 2018 season, and
was not offered a contract for the following year. He showed he still had plenty left in the
tank, though, as he went on to have several of his best seasons. The card shown here is a Cream of the Crop
mini refractor from 2013 Bowman Chrome, and Wilmer appears on other cards
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.
