Add an important early card of one of baseballs premier power hitters of the late 1980s with this Kevin Mitchell autographed 1986 Fleer Update #U-76 New York Mets card. Issued during Mitchells first full Major League season, the Fleer Update card captures him as a young member of one of the most memorable teams of the decade, the 1986 World Series champion New York Mets.
Mitchell became a valuable and remarkably versatile member of the Mets in 1986. He appeared in 108 games and batted .277 with 12 home runs and 43 RBI, while seeing action at numerous positions around the diamond. His performance earned him a third-place finish in National League Rookie of the Year voting and helped New York dominate the NL East with 108 regular-season victories.
Mitchell also contributed during the Mets memorable postseason run. He appeared in the National League Championship Series against Houston and played a memorable role in Game 6 of the World Series against Boston, scoring the tying run during the Mets dramatic two-out rally in the bottom of the 10th inning. New York went on to win the game and captured the World Series championship the following night.
After leaving the Mets, Mitchell eventually developed into one of the National Leagues most feared sluggers with San Francisco. His spectacular 1989 season included a .291 average, 47 home runs and 125 RBI, earning him the National League Most Valuable Player Award and a Silver Slugger Award.
Mitchell became a two-time MLB All-Star and finished his 13-year Major League career with 234 home runs and 760 RBI. Combining an early Mitchell issue with its connection to the legendary 1986 Mets, the 1986 Fleer Update #U-76 is an excellent addition for New York Mets collectors, Kevin Mitchell fans, World Series memorabilia collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
