Who is Greg Sims?
Gregory Emmett Sims is an American former professional baseball player. During his nine-season playing career, he spent part of one season, 1966, as a member of the Houston Astros of Major League Baseball. An outfielder, he was a switch-hitter who threw right-handed, stood 6 feet tall and weighed 190 pounds.
Sims had originally signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates and was selected by Houston after his first professional season in the Rule 5 draft. He made his Major League debut on April 15, 1965, as a defensive replacement for Astro left fielder Lee Maye, struck out in his only plate appearance, and recorded one putout in the field. Sims then made six other appearances as a pinch hitter before being sent to the Class A Durham Bulls of the Carolina League. In his penultimate MLB game, on May 14 at Connie Mack Stadium, Sims collected his only big-league hit, a single off Terry Fox in the 11th inning that helped to spark a three-run game-winning rally over the Philadelphia Phillies.
