Julio Machado

Julio Segundo "Iguana Man" Machado Rondon
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 165 lbs.
Born: December 1, 1965 in Zulia, Venezuela
Signed: 1985 by the Philadelphia Phillies
Acquired: as a free agent, April 1989
Departed: sent to the Milwaukee Brewers to complete an earlier deal, September 1990; the Mets had traded two players to be named later (Machado and Kevin Brown) to the Brewers for Charlie O'Brien and a player to be named later (Kevin Carmody)

Julio looks happy enough on this 1990 Classic card, but he is actually (as far as I know) the only convicted murderer ever to pitch for the Mets. Of course, that happened after they traded him to the Brewers, so I don't think any blame can be assigned to New York. A card from his last big-league season appears 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.
