John Mabry

John Steven Mabry (born October 17, 1970 in Wilmington, Delaware) is a former Major League Baseball player. He had 898 career hits in 3409 at bats (for a batting average of .263), with 96 home runs and 446 RBI. He is 6'4" tall, weighs 210 lbs, bats left-handed and throws right-handed.

Mabry, a graduate of Bohemia Manor High School, in Chesapeake City, Maryland, played three years at West Chester University of Pennsylvania, before being drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 6th round of the 1991 amateur draft. He played for the St. Louis Cardinals three different times (1994-1998, 2001, 2004-2005). In Mabry's only season with over 400 at bats, he batted for the cycle in a May 18, 1996 loss to the Colorado Rockies. He was one of the few major leaguers who preferred not to wear batting gloves. He loves going on the ITD Morning After with Tim McKernan, Doug Vaughn, and Jimmy "The Cat" Hayes. His wife, Ann, is also a fan of the radio program.

Mabry was also somewhat versatile on defense. He played more than 100 games at left and right field as well as first and third base. He also made two career appearances pitching. In 1 inning of work he gave up 7 earned runs for a career ERA of 63.^[1]
