There was much skepticism regarding Ramon
in the spring of 2005. The Mets had just jettisoned popular veteran Vance
Wilson in favor of someone who had just batted .135, and had only batted above
.200 in three of six major-league seasons. But this former first-round draft
pick won the respect of Met fans, as he proved to be a fine defender and a
clutch-hitting replacement for oft-injured Mike Piazza. Pictured here is a 1995
Stadium Club card, showing him as an Astros prospect years before he made it to
the major leagues. There are other photos 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.
