Kevin Ray Tapani
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 180 lbs.
Born: February 18, 1964 in Des Moines, IA
Drafted: 2nd round 1986 by the Oakland Athletics
Acquired: traded from the Athletics with Wally Whitehurst as part of a
three-team trade, December 1987; the Los Angeles Dodgers sent Bob Welch and
Matt Young to the Athletics; the Dodgers sent Jack Savage to the Mets; the
Athletics sent Alfredo Griffin and Jay Howell to the Dodgers; the Mets sent Jesse
Orosco to the Dodgers
Departed: traded to the Minnesota Twins with Rick Aguilera,
Tim Drummond, David West and a player to be named
later (Jack Savage) for Frank Viola,
July 1989
This long-time big leaguer debuted with the
Mets (as evidenced by the 1990 Topps Debut card below), but only pitched in
three games with New York before being packaged to Minnesota in the Frank Viola
trade. Won 16 games twice for the Twins,
and then won as many as 19 for the Cubs in 1998, despite rather a high
ERA. Pictured here at the top is a 1995
Topps Embossed card. Other 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.
