Career highlights and awards

Gregory Richard Myers (born on April 14, 1966, in Riverside, California) is a former baseball catcher and designated hitter most recently for the Toronto Blue Jays of the American League of Major League Baseball . He played 18 seasons in the MLB, which began in 1987. He also played in the American League for the California Angels, Minnesota Twins, Baltimore Orioles and Oakland A's, and in the National League for the Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres.

In 1993 Myers was Nolan Ryan's 5,714th—and last—strikeout victim. In 2003, Myers rejuvanted his career with the Blue Jays, returning as a starting catcher. That year he hit .307, 15 Home Runs and 52 RBI. He almost started the all-star game for the American League, but the honors went to Ramon Hernandez. In 2004, he suffered an injury when he slid into second base during a game against the Minnesota Twins at the Metrodome. He was out for the entire year and decided to retire at the end of the season.
