Christopher John Jelic (born December 16, 1963 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania), is a retired Major League Baseball outfielder who appeared in four games with the New York Mets in 1990. His one career hit was a home run in the final at-bat of his career.[1]
Jelic was originally drafted by the Kansas City Royals in the second round of the 1985 Major League Baseball Draft out of the University of Pittsburgh. Jelic not only played baseball in college, but was also the punter on the Panthers' football team.[2]
He was traded to the Mets with David Cone on March 27, 1987 for Rick Anderson, Mauro Gozzo and Ed Hearn. After his brief stint with the Mets in 1990, Jelic signed with the San Diego Padres, never reaching the majors in three seasons in their organization.
