Carroll Christopher Chambliss is an American professional baseball player and coach. He played in Major League Baseball from 1971 to 1988 for the Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees, and Atlanta Braves. He served as a coach for the Yankees, St. Louis Cardinals, New York Mets, Cincinnati Reds, and Seattle Mariners.
How Did the Yankees Get Chris Chambliss?
When the Yankees offered Peterson and a second starter Steve Kline, along with two relievers, Fred Beene and Tom Buskey, Seghi couldn’t resist the influx to his rotation. So he sent Chambliss along with starter Dick Tidrow and reliever Cecil Upshaw. Interestingly enough, the Yankees press and fans lambasted the deal.
For many years, Chambliss was a leading candidate to manage a major league team.[18] He was considered for manager of the Chicago White Sox in 1991, the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1996,[20] the Mets in 1999, the Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks in 2000, and the Mets again in 2002
