Francisco Rodriguez

Francisco Jose "K-Rod" or "Frankie" Rodriguez
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 175 lbs.
Born: January 7, 1982 in Caracas, Venezuela
Signed: 1998 by the Anaheim Angels
Acquired: as a free agent, December 2008
Departed: traded to the Milwaukee Brewers with cash for two players to be named later (Danny Herrera and Adrian Rosario), July 2011

 

Set the all-time single-season saves record in 2008 for the Angels and then came to the Mets that winter. Had a solid big-league career that somehow seemed to fall just a little short, based solely on the prodigious hype that followed his spectacular late-season rookie debut.  Pictured is 2003 Topps; more cards are pictured 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.
