Jose Oquendo
Jose Manuel
"Secret Weapon" Oquendo Contreras
Batted: Both
Threw: Right
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 160 lbs.
Born: July 4, 1963 in Rio Piedras, PR
Signed: 1979 by the Mets
Departed: traded to the St. Louis Cardinals with Mark J. Davis for Angel
Salazar and John Young, April 1985
Jose was the Rey Ordonez of the mid-1980s,
and it looked as if he were going to be consigned to a career as a defensive
specialist. Once he was traded to the Cardinals, however, he developed a fine
batting eye, and spent the best part of five years as a starting second baseman
across the bag from Ozzie Smith. He is pictured here on his 1993 Upper Deck
card. More cards appear 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.
