Juan Samuel

Juan Milton Samuel
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 170 lbs.
Born: December 9, 1960 in San Pedro De Macoris, DR
Signed: 1980 by the Philadelphia Phillies
Acquired: traded from the Phillies for Lenny Dykstra, Roger McDowell, and a player to be named later (Tom Edens), June 1989
Departed: traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Alejandro Pena and Mike Marshall, December 1989

For his first four full seasons, he looked like a sure-thing Hall of Famer. For the next four seasons, he was barely an impact player; after that, he played seven more years as a part-timer. Still, he was a versatile guy that a lot of teams were glad to have coming off their bench. He's shown here on 1995 Score, and there are a couple of cards from his bright early days with the Phillies among the nearly two dozen 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 am still accepting donations, should you feel so moved. Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
