Christopher James Magruder (born April 26, 1977) is a former Major League Baseball outfielder who played for the Texas Rangers, Cleveland Indians, and Milwaukee Brewers.
Magruder was drafted out of the University of Washington, where he played college baseball for the Huskies from 1996–1998,[1] by the San Francisco Giants.
Magruder elected free agency following the 2005 season, in lieu of an outright assignment to the Brewer's top minor league baseball affiliate, the Triple-A Nashville Sounds.
He had served in a backup role as a reserve for the starting outfielders Carlos Lee, Geoff Jenkins, and Brady Clark.
His first at bat as a member of the Tribe was a double off the wall in the 8th inning to break up a no-hit bid.
