[edit] Biographical Information
Joe Mather was called up by the St. Louis Cardinals in late May of 2008 and played quite a bit in the outfield from that point on, getting into 54 games and hitting 8 home runs in 133 at-bats. Unfortunately, his season ended early when he broke his left wrist while attempting to check his swing in a game against the Arizona Diamondbacks on September 1; he hat hit a home run earlier in that game. The injury, similar to one suffered by Ryan Zimmerman a year earlier, required corrective surgery.
