Keith Hernandez
Keith "Mex" Hernandez
Batted: Left
Threw: Left
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 195 lbs.
Born: October 20, 1953 in San Francisco, CA
Drafted: 42nd round 1971 by the St. Louis Cardinals
Acquired: traded from the Cardinals for Neil Allen and Rick Ownbey, June 1983
Departed: as a free agent, November 1989
The only knock against Keith in his career was that he didn't hit with outstanding power for a first baseman. Other than that, though, he had it all. He was a fine hitter for average, and he was arguably the best defensive first baseman in history. The Mets were instantly legitimized when he joined the club in 1983; he was The Captain. His poise and good looks also got him a recurring role (as himself) on the Jerry Seinfeld show, and he became part of the regular broadcast team with the 2006 inauguration of SNY. Keith is pictured here, along with Cal Ripken, on a Drake's Big Hitters box panel, and is shown on many more cards below.
