Max Scherzer

Maxwell M. "Mad Max" Scherzer
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 208 lbs.
Born: July 27, 1984 in St. Louis, MO
Drafted: 1st round 2006 by the Arizona Diamondbacks
Acquired: as a free agent, December 2021
Departed: traded to the Texas Rangers with cash for Luisangel Acuna, July 2023

This three-time Cy Young award winner became a Met for 2022 when he signed the biggest per-season dollar-value free agent contract in history. He was delivering his typical splendid performance for the Queens club when he suffered an oblique injury in May of that year—he still pitched enough for the Mets in their near-championship year that he earned Mets Pitcher of the Year honors. His 2021 Gypsy Queen card is shown here; many 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 am still accepting donations, should you feel so moved. Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
