Benny Agbayani

Benny Peter Agbayani, Jr.
Batted: Right
Threw: Right
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 225 lbs.
Born: December 28, 1971 in Honolulu, HI
Drafted: 30th round 1993 by the Mets
Departed: traded to the Colorado Rockies with Todd Zeile and cash as part of a three-team trade, January 2002; the Mets sent Lenny Harris and Glendon Rusch to the Milwaukee Brewers; the Rockies sent Craig House and Ross Gload to the Mets; the Rockies sent Alex Ochoa to the Brewers; the Brewers sent Jeff D'Amico, Jeromy Burnitz, Lou Collier, Mark Sweeney, and cash to the Mets

 

A fan favorite at Shea Stadium, the burly Hawaiian came from no-prospect status to become a key component on the 2000 NL Champions. After his big-league tenure was complete, he went to Japan, where he was reunited with manager Bobby Valentine, and rewarded him with a season in which he batted .315 with 35 home runs and 100 RBI. Pictured here is his card from the 1996 Best Binghamton Mets set; more cards are pictured below.
