Ed Kranepool
Edward Emil "Ed" Kranepool (born November 8, 1944) is an American former professional baseball player. He spent his entire Major League Baseball career as a first baseman for the New York Mets.
Born in the Bronx, New York, Kranepool attended James Monroe High School, where he began playing baseball and basketball. Mets' scout Bubber Jonnard signed Kranepool in at the age of 17 as an amateur free agent.
==Seventeen-year-old debuts with the Mets==
After batting a combined .301 at three levels of the Mets' minor league system in 1962, Kranepool received a September call-up in just his first professional season. At age 17, Kranepool was six years younger than the next-youngest '62 Met, a reflection of the disastrous decision of Met management to select mostly older veterans in the expansion draft. He made his major league debut wearing number 21 on September 22, 1962 as a late inning defensive replacement for Gil Hodges at first base in a 9-2 loss to the Chicago Cubs at the Polo Grounds. He grounded out to Cubs second baseman Ken Hubbs in his only at bat.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chicago Cubs 9, New York Mets 2 )〕 He made his first start the next day, September 23, playing first base, and went one for four with a double.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New York Mets 2, Chicago Cubs 1 )〕
Kranepool began the season splitting playing time with "Marvelous" Marv Throneberry at first base and Duke Snider in right field. By May 5, Throneberry's ineptitude at the plate (.143 batting average and only one RBI in the first 23 games of the season) wore thin on Met fans and management, and he was demoted to the Mets' Triple A affiliate, the Buffalo Bisons. Tim Harkness was awarded the first base job, with Snider shifting to left field and Kranepool becoming the Mets' everyday right fielder. This arrangement, however, did not last, as Kranepool was sent down to the minors in July with a .190 batting average. He resurfaced later that season as a September call-up, and went four for five with a run batted in and a run scored in his first game back.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=St. Louis Cardinals 6, New York Mets 5 )〕 He continued to hit better following his late season call-up, and managed to bring his batting average up to .209 for the season.
