Al Leiter

Alois Terry Leiter
Batted: Left
Threw: Left
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 210 lbs.
Born: October 23, 1965 in Toms River, NJ
Drafted: 2nd round 1984 by the New York Yankees
Acquired: traded from the Florida Marlins with Ralph Milliard for A. J. Burnett, Jesus Sanchez, and Robert Stratton, February 1998

Al was a Met fan as a child growing up, and was the Mets' ace for seven successful seasons. He was adored by the New York sporting public, and returned that adoration by his very active participation in local charities; not just giving his money, but giving himself. He is pictured on this 1987 TCMA card as a Yankees prospect. "Future Star?" Yes. (Many more cards 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.
