Omar was hired as the Mets' general manager after the conclusion of the 2004 season, after serving in a similar capacity for the last three years of the Montreal Expos' history. Prior to that, he was an assistant to Mets GM Steve Phillips, and prior to that, he worked in the Texas Rangers' system, helping to develop Sammy Sosa and Juan Gonzalez. He made a huge splash almost immediately on the back pages of the NY tabloids by signing Pedro Martinez. Here is what I believe to be the only card ever produced of Omar, from 1981 TCMA.

Update: in 2007, Topps Co-Signers produced a card featuring the autographs of New York general managers Brian Cashman and Omar. I don't have one.

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.
