[edit] Biographical Information

Not the heavyweight fighter, this Mike Tyson was a very good defensive second baseman with the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1970's. Sidelined by an injury in 1979, Ken Oberkfell took over at second base and hit .301. Now expendable, Tyson was dealt to the Chicago Cubs in the off-season for pitcher Donnie Moore. Failing to produce for the Cubs, Tyson was released prior to the 1982 season.
