Chris Jones, an outfielder in Major League Baseball, spent his career with several teams, showcasing his skills on the field. Born on December 16, 1965, in Utica, New York, Jones was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the third round of the 1984 amateur draft. He made his MLB debut with the Reds on September 6, 1991.
Jones's time with the Reds was brief, and he soon found himself traded to the Houston Astros in 1992. However, his stint with the Astros was short-lived, and he was on the move again, this time to the Colorado Rockies. It was with the Rockies that Jones began to see more playing time, appearing in 104 games during the 1993 season. His performance with the Rockies included a batting average of .273, along with 11 home runs and 42 RBIs, marking one of his more productive seasons.
In 1994, Jones joined the New York Mets, where he played for two seasons. During his tenure with the Mets, he continued to demonstrate his abilities as a reliable outfielder. In 1995, he played in 101 games, hitting .280 with 7 home runs and 28 RBIs. His time with the Mets allowed him to further establish himself as a consistent player, contributing both offensively and defensively.
Jones's career continued with the San Diego Padres in 1996, although his time there was limited. He then moved to the Arizona Diamondbacks in 1998, where he played a handful of games. His final MLB appearance came with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2000, concluding a career that spanned parts of nine seasons.
