Tim Spehr

Timothy Joseph Spehr
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 200 lbs.
Born: July 2, 1966 in Excelsior Springs, MO
Drafted: 5th round 1988 by the Kansas City Royals
Acquired: as a free agent, January 1998
Departed: purchased by the Royals, August 1998

In an eight-year career as a backup catcher, Tim accumulated about one full season's worth of at-bats, and hit with good power, totaling 19 home runs. Even more surprising, he was never caught stealing in nine attempts in his career. Now, if he could've done something about that .198 batting average…. He's shown here during his short tenure with the Mets on 1998 Pacific Online Red; he was actually the Mets' Opening Day backstop in '98. Three more cards 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 am still accepting donations, should you feel so moved. Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
