Letters to the editor.(The Fans Speak Out)(Letter to the Editor)
Don Mueller was a good-hitting outfielder for the New York Giants years ago. He played regularly from 1950-1957.
Basically, his last year was 1958 when he was only 31. What happened to him?
Bob Reigh
Lebanon, Pa.
Although a solid contact hitter, Mueller had little power as a left-handed batter and was weak defensively in right field. These deficiencies worked against him as he finished his final two major league seasons with the White Sox in 1958 and 1959.
A lifetime .296 hitter, he had already slumped on offense with the Giants in 1956 and 1957 when he averaged .269 and .258 at the plate. He was sold to the White Sox for cash in March 1958.
Mueller left baseball in 1959 and became a building inspector for an insurance company. He retired from the insurance business in 1983.
