Kevin Kobel

Kevin Richard Kobel
Batted: Right
Threw: Left
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 195 lbs.
Born: October 2, 1953 in Buffalo, NY
Drafted: 10th round 1971 by the Milwaukee Brewers
Acquired: purchased from the Brewers, December 1977
Departed: traded to the Kansas City Royals for a player to be named later (Randy McGilberry), June 1980

 

Kevin had three fairly good seasons in the big leagues, but never posted a winning record in any season. That, of course, was due to the teams he played with as much as anything else. He's pictured here with his first club, the Milwaukee Brewers, on 1975 Topps, and on two minor-league cards from the '70s 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.
