Butch Huskey Biography

Butch Huskey is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on November 10, 1971 in Anadarko, Oklahoma, United States. Robert Leon “Butch”, born November 10, 1971, is an ex-professional baseball player who played primarily as an outfielder for the major leagues in 1993 and 1995-2000.

Huskey was with the Norfolk Tides, an International League team that played the entire 1994 season. He was possible to be recalled in September, but his hopes were dashed when Major League Baseball struck 1994.

In 1996, Huskey was primed to compete with backup infielder Edgardo Alfonzo for the starting position at third base for the New York Mets, following the trade of incumbent Bobby Bonilla to the Baltimore Orioles the previous season. However, the unexpected play of shortstop Rey Ordóñez prompted Dallas Green to alter the infield alignment: Ordonez was awarded the starting shortstop position, with José Vizcaíno shifting to second base, and Jeff Kent shifting to third base. To compensate both Huskey and eager Mets fans, he was awarded the starting right field job, a position he had only played once previously at the Major League level. Huskey struggled defensively in the outfield, soon finding himself being replaced by more athletic natural outfielders, such as Carl Everett and Alex Ochoa, as well as being berated on several radio talk shows for his excessive weight. However, Huskey soon found himself in a platoon role with first baseman Rico Brogna, a left-handed hitter. Huskey went on to be the Mets’ busiest first baseman that year, finishing with a .278 average, 15 home runs, 60 runs batted in, and one stolen base.

As a Met, Huskey started out his career in 1993 wearing number 10, and then wore the number 42 for the rest of his Met career from 1995-1998 when Major League Baseball retired the number in honor of Jackie Robinson on April 15, 1997 in a game between the Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers at Shea Stadium. A grandfather clause enabled him to wear the number for the remainder of his career if he so chose; he changed his number to 44 with the Red Sox in 1999, then reverted to 42 with the Twins before finishing out his career with the Rockies wearing number 35.

Huskey was awarded the award for the Binghamton Mets in the Eastern League in

1993. He posted a batting average.251 with 25 home runs and 98 runs batted-in, as well as 11 stolen bases. The Mets had already deemed Huskey a top prospect. In August, Huskey was recalled by the Mets to make his debut against the Houston Astros. Darryl Kile took the mound. Huskey was recalled again on September 1, 1993 when the rosters were expanded. He ended the season in major leagues, batting.146, with no home runs and three runs batted into, as well as no stolen bases.
