It seemed that the sky was the limit for
this hard-throwing right-hander. He spent one season as a Mets starter, then
was traded to the Astros in the Mike Hampton deal and ended the season as their
closer. After spending a couple of very effective years in middle relief for
Houston, he became the stopper for the Oakland A's. He died in the tragic 2025 concert
roof collapse in Santo Domingo along with about a hundred other people. Octavio is pictured here on his 2005 Topps
Heritage card. Cards showing him in eleven different uniforms are 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.
