Danny Napoleon

Daniel Napoleon (January 11, 1942 – April 26, 2003) was a Major League Baseball left fielder from 1965 to 1966 with the New York Mets.

While playing at Rider University, he caught the eye of the Mets, and signed as an amateur free agent with them prior to the 1964 season.

In order to protect him from being selected in the minor league draft, the Mets added him to their 40-man roster.

He was traded along with Ed Bressoud and cash from the Mets to the St. Louis Cardinals for Jerry Buchek, Art Mahaffey and Tony Martínez on April 1, 1967.

[6][7] Napoleon also worked for the New Jersey State Department of Treasury and was an original employee at the Candlelight Lounge in Trenton.
