Tom Edens
Thomas Patrick Edens is an American former professional baseball pitcher, who played in Major League Baseball for the New York Mets, Milwaukee Brewers, Minnesota Twins, Houston Astros, Philadelphia Phillies, and Chicago Cubs.
Edens was drafted in the 14th round by the Kansas City Royals in the 1983 Major League Baseball draft. Late in Spring Training, he was traded to the New York Mets. Over the next three-plus seasons, Edens worked his way up through their Minor League Baseball farm system. Eventually, he received the call to join the parent club, making his MLB debut with the visiting Mets on June 2, 1987, against the Los Angeles Dodgers. That night, he really was quite impressive, battling through five tough innings, allowing eight hits and three earned runs, while striking out three and yielding two bases on balls — all of which resulted in a no-decision., with three saves, and a 6–3 win–loss record, appearing in 52 games.
