Felix Mantilla
Felix Mantilla Lamela
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 160 lbs.
Born: July 29, 1934 in Isabela, Puerto Rico
Signed: 1952 by the Boston Braves
Acquired: via the Expansion Draft from the Milwaukee Braves, October 1961
Departed: traded to the Boston Red Sox for Tracy Stallard, Pumpsie
Green, and a player to be named later (Al
Moran), December 1962
After six years with Milwaukee without ever
receiving as many as 300 at-bats, Felix joined the expansion Mets in 1962 and
had (what was then) a career year, primarily as their third baseman. Shortly
after that, he had two outstanding seasons with the Red Sox, and then, a year
later, was out of the majors for good. He's pictured here on 1958 Topps, and
below on five more, including a 1960 Spic and Span Braves card and a pair of
Topps stamps.

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.
