Zack Short

Zachary Ryan Short
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 180 lbs.
Born: May 29, 1995 in Kingston, NY
Drafted: 17th round 2016 by the Chicago Cubs
Acquired: claimed on waivers from the Detroit Tigers, November 2023
Departed: traded to the Boston Red Sox for cash, May 2024

I questioned whether Zack would ever take the field for the Mets when they picked him up from the Tigers at the end of the 2023 season, but after a solid Spring camp, there he was on the Opening Day roster for 2024. His last name is Short, and he was indeed the shortest man on that 2024 Opening Day roster—along with Francisco Alvarez—the only two Mets under 5'11" at that point of the season. The card shown here is from the 2022 Topps Chrome, a pink refractor.

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. m still accepting donations, should you feel so moved. Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
