One of the apparently never-ending supply of relievers the Mets stashed at Syracuse to ride the SYR-NYC shuttle. When he made his first appearance with the Mets, he joined his sixth MLB team in parts of only five seasons. Two appearances later, he debuted with his seventh. Rico is shown here as one of minor league baseball’s leaders in innings pitched in the 2018 season, which he spent with the Hartford Yard Goats. His year with the Mets experience is 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.
