Raul Gonzalez

Victor Raul Gonzalez
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 190 lbs.
Born: December 27, 1973 in Santurce, PR
Drafted: 17th round 1990 by the Kansas City Royals
Acquired: sent from the Cincinnati Reds to complete an earlier deal, August 2002; the Reds had traded Pedro Feliciano, Elvin Andujar, and two players to be named later (Gonzalez and Brady Clark) for Shawn Estes and cash

The Mets obtained this minor-league All-Star outfielder from the Cincinnati Reds for Shawn Estes in late 2002. In fact, Raul was named MVP of the International League shortly after he debuted with New York! He's shown here on his 2000 Fleer Tradition Update card, and on a card picturing him with the Mets 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.
