Mike Chris
Michael Chris is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who attended the West Los Angeles Junior College.
Chris appeared in games in three Major League seasons, starting approximately half of the games. The Detroit Tigers drafted him with the 10th overall pick of the 1977 Major League Baseball Draft and promoted him to the majors in 1979 to pitch in 13 games, starting eight. Chris finished with a record of three wins against three losses, with a 6.92 ERA. The Tigers traded him to the San Francisco Giants in 1981 with Dan Schatzeder for Larry Herndon. He pitched in part of two seasons for the Giants, but they placed him on waivers in 1983. The Chicago Cubs claimed him, but he never pitched for the Cubs, and they released him in the offseason.
