Lee Mazzilli

Lee Louis Mazzilli
Batted: Both

Height: 6'1"
Weight: 185 lbs.
Born: March 25, 1955 in New York, NY
Drafted: 1st round 1973 by the Mets
Departed: traded to the Texas Rangers for
Ron Darling and Walt Terrell, April 1982
Acquired: as a free agent, August 1986

Lee was the Mets' glamour-boy in the late '70s. That partially obscured the fact that he was actually a fairly good ballplayer for a few years. After spending several subsequent seasons wandering in the wilderness of Texas and Pittsburgh and the other New York, he returned to the Mets in time for the 1986 World Championship, a nice compensation for the terrible years the Mets had when he was there the first time. He's pictured here at the height of his popularity, on 1981 Fleer. Several more cards are pictured beneath Lee's stats, most of them associated with a food-type issue.

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.
