Bob Aspromonte

Robert Thomas Aspromonte
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 185 lbs.
Born: June 19, 1938 in Brooklyn, NY
Signed: 1956 by the Brooklyn Dodgers
Acquired: traded from the Atlanta Braves for Ron Herbel, December 1970
Departed: released, October 1971

 

I believe Bob was the last of the old Brooklyn Dodgers to still be active in the major leagues, though his tenure in his home town was admittedly brief: one game, one at-bat, and one strikeout. This 1969 Topps card shows him as a member of the Atlanta Braves. He had his best years for Houston, though; below the stats box he is pictured on a couple of pieces as a member of the expansion Colt .45s, and a few more cards found their way onto this page as well.

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.
