Mike Maksudian

[William Malone]

Michael Bryant Maksudian was born on May 28, 1966 in Bellville, Illinois.

The Chicago White Sox signed him as an amateur free agent in 1987. He was traded multiple times as a prospect, and made his Major League debut for the Toronto Blue Jays in 1992. Maksudian was 0-for-3 at the plate in limited action, and was waived in the off-season. The Minnesota Twins claimed him.

Maksudian played five games for the Twins in 1993, going 2-for-12 (.167) with four walks. His first big league RBI came on a sacrifice fly against Shawn Hillegas of the Oakland Athletics. He got his first Major League hit against Mike Witt of the New York Yankees, which was a run scoring double. Minnesota released him after the season, and he signed a minor league deal with the Chicago Cubs.

He played 26 games for the Cubs in 1994. His final professional season came in 1995 in the Athletics minor league system.
