Featuring Hubie Brooks with the New York Mets, this Hubie Brooks autographed 1985 Donruss #197 New York Mets card represents the versatile infielder and outfielder following his final season of his original Mets tenure. Brooks was one of New York's most productive young players during the early 1980s before becoming a two-time All-Star with the Montreal Expos.

The Mets selected Brooks with the third overall pick in the 1978 MLB Draft, and he made his Major League debut in 1980. He soon established himself as the club's regular third baseman, providing consistent offense as the Mets began building the roster that would emerge as a contender during the middle of the decade.

Brooks enjoyed a strong 1984 season, batting .283 with 163 hits, 16 home runs and 73 RBI while appearing in 153 games. The Mets won 90 games that year, their first winning season since 1976, with Brooks serving as an important part of the improving lineup.

Following the season, Brooks was one of the key players sent to the Montreal Expos in the trade that brought Gary Carter to New York. He flourished in Montreal, driving in 100 runs in 1985 and earning consecutive National League All-Star selections in 1986 and 1987.

Brooks played 15 Major League seasons with the Mets, Expos, Dodgers, Angels and Royals, collecting more than 1,600 hits and driving in more than 800 runs. The 1985 Donruss #197 is a notable transitional Mets issue and an appealing addition for New York collectors, Hubie Brooks fans, 1980s Donruss collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
