Career highlights and awards
  • Drafted by the New York Mets from the Chicago Cubs in the 1961 expansion draft.

Edward Francis Bouchee (born March 7, 1933 in Livingston, Montana) was a Major League Baseball first baseman from 1956 to 1962. He finished second in the Rookie of the Year voting in 1957, hitting .293 with 17 home runs and 76 RBI. Those would all prove to be career highs.

Legal troubles during the following offseason led to his temporary suspension from Major League Baseball. Bouchee pled guilty to indecent exposure to minors in Spokane, Washington. In response, the Topps company pulled his card from their set (#145). He was reinstated by commissioner Ford Frick on July 1, 1958.
