Al Moran

Richard Alan Moran (born December 5, 1938) is an American former Major League Baseball shortstop who played in 1963 and 1964 for the New York Mets.

Originally signed by the Boston Red Sox before the 1958 season, Moran was sent to the Mets on January 14, 1963, to complete a trade that occurred on December 11, 1962.

In the deal, the Red Sox dealt pitcher Tracy Stallard, infielder Pumpsie Green and a player to be named later (Moran) to the Mets for Félix Mantilla.

In May 1964, Moran was replaced as the Mets' shortstop by 34-year-old veteran Roy McMillan, a former National League All-Star and two-time Gold Glove Award winner.

He hit five doubles, two triples and one home run, off Baseball Hall of Fame left-hander Warren Spahn, August 31, 1963, at the Polo Grounds.
