One time Met, Joe Christopher was born on December 13th, 1935. He played with the Mets from 1962-65, He had a terrific offensive year in 1964, hitting .300 and driving in 76 runs. Unfortunately, his fielding was not quite as impressive as his hitting, at least according to former teammate, Tracy Stallard.
Stallard said of Christopher, "Christopher is the only .300 hitter I have ever seen who hurts a ball club. He improved his hitting this spring. He should have worked on his fielding too."
