Some Famous People called George Theodore
George Theodore
George Basil Theodore (born November 13, 1947) is a retired Major League Baseball player. Nicknamed "The Stork," the, Theodore played outfield for the New York Mets in 1973 and 1974. He is probably best remembered for a brutal collision in left-center field with Don Hahn in a game against the Atlanta Braves at Shea Stadium on July 7, 1973. As a result of the collision, Ralph Garr scored an inside-the-park home run, and Theodore dislocated his hip and had to be carried off the field on a stretcher.
He is also remembered for his offbeat personality and idiosyncratic interviews. For example, he once remarked, "I've been trying transcendental meditation, and that helps me be passive and wait on the curve. I've got to find something else to hit the slider."
Theodore played in 2 games of the 1973 World Series during the Mets' tough loss in 7 games to the Oakland A's, where he finished with a .000 batting average in 2 plate appearances (in games 2 and 4...interestingly, both games the Mets won).
After his baseball career, Theodore returned to Utah, got a master's degree in social work, and worked for 38 years as a counselor to elementary school students. In 2016, South Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce named him Educator of the Year.
On September 28, 2008, Theodore returned to Shea Stadium for the stadium's closing ceremony. To this date, he is recognized as the only player in Mets history who was born in the state of Utah.
