Talk:Elio Chacón
From BR Bullpen
Elio Chacon
Venezuelan born Elio Chacon, who was one of the original lovable loser NY Mets in their 1962 debut season of 40 wins and 120 losses was unforgettable in a special way. In an episode of "The Twilight Zone", a character was listening to a Met game on the radio. There were only a few seconds of sound on the radio that were clear enough to make out, but the name "Elio Chacon" was clear as a bell. A fitting and memorable distinction for any ball-player!!
Elio Chacon was born in Caracas on October 26, 1936 and died in his home town of Caracas on April 24, 1993. http://www.baseball-reference.com/c/chacoel01.shtml
