Mac Suzuki

Makoto Suzuki
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 195 lbs.
Born: May 31, 1975 in Kobe, Japan
Signed: 1992 by the Salinas Spurs (independent); purchased from San Bernardino by the Seattle Mariners, September 1993
Acquired: traded from the Mariners with a player to be named later (Justin Dunning) for Allen Watson, June 1999
Departed: claimed on waivers by the Kansas City Royals, June 1999

 

Had an unusual career arc, to say the least.  He was a Met for a couple of minutes in June 1999, and vanished almost as silently as he arrived.  He's shown here on a 1995 Topps card, when it was still hopeful that he would become a future star.  A nice portrait shot of him from Bowman Heritage appears 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.
