Billy Wagner
William Edward
"Billy the Kid" Wagner
Batted: Left
Threw: Left
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 180 lb.
Born: July 25, 1971 in Tannersville, VA
Drafted: 1st round 1993 by the Houston Astros
Acquired: as a free agent, November 2005
Departed: traded to the Boston Red Sox for two players to be named later (Chris Carter and
Eddie Lora), August 2009
One of the most dominant left-handed
closers ever--can you name one better? Nicknamed "Country Time" by
the vast nation of Mets bloggers. Billy's final season in the big leagues may
well have been his best, but he had already determined that it would be his
last, and—true to his word—he retired. He's pictured here on an autographed
1997 Topps Gallery card; there are more cards shown 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.
