Page "Elio Chacón" Paragraph 3

On October 10, 1961, an expansion draft to stock the Houston Colt. 45s and New York Mets new National League clubs was conducted in Cincinnati.

Chacón was the Mets ' first candidate for the starting shortstop job.

He led the club in stolen bases in the inaugural season of 1962, but then never appeared in the major leagues again.

According to The Mets Fan's Little Book of Wisdom by Bucky Fox, Chacon got into a brawl with Willie Mays.

That is why he didn't play in the majors again.
