Featuring Edgardo Alfonzo with the New York Mets, this Edgardo Alfonzo autographed 2002 Topps #258 New York Mets card showcases one of the club's most productive infielders of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Alfonzo combined consistent hitting, on-base ability and defensive versatility while spending the first eight seasons of his Major League career in New York.

A native of Venezuela, Alfonzo signed with the Mets as an amateur free agent and made his Major League debut in 1995. He developed into a regular at both second and third base and became an important part of a Mets club that reached the postseason in consecutive years in 1999 and 2000.

Alfonzo enjoyed a standout season in 1999, batting .304 with 191 hits, 41 doubles, 27 home runs, 108 RBI and 123 runs scored. He followed with another excellent year in 2000, hitting .324 with 25 home runs, 94 RBI and a .425 on-base percentage while earning his lone All-Star selection.

The Mets captured the 2000 National League pennant, and Alfonzo was a major contributor throughout the postseason. He hit three home runs with 10 RBI during New York's run to the World Series, including a memorable grand slam in Game 1 of the NL Division Series against the San Francisco Giants.

Alfonzo played 12 Major League seasons and finished with 1,532 hits, 282 doubles, 146 home runs, 744 RBI and a .284 batting average. The 2002 Topps #258 represents the final season of his original Mets tenure and is an appealing addition for Mets collectors, Edgardo Alfonzo fans, 2000 National League championship collections, Topps collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
