Ricky Otero

Ricardo Otero Figueroa
Batted: Both
Threw: Right
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 150 lbs.
Born: April 15, 1972 in Vega Baja, PR
Drafted: 45th round 1990 by the Mets
Departed: traded to the Philadelphia Phillies for Phil Geisler, December 1995

It looked for one season as if Ricky were going to be the heir to Lenny Dykstra in Philadelphia's center field, but that was the only season he was a full-time starter in the big leagues. Here is a card from when that hope was still fresh: 1997 Pacific Prisms Invincible. A couple more shiny cards are shown 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.
