Mitchell Page

Biography

Mitchell Otis Page (October 15, 1951 – March 12, 2011) was an American professional baseball player and coach. He played in Major League Baseball as an outfielder and designated hitter from 1977 to 1984, most prominently as a member of the Oakland Athletics where, he placed second to Hall of Fame member Eddie Murray in the 1977 American League Rookie of the Year balloting. Page made an impressive start to his major league career when he became the second player in Major League Baseball history with more than 20 home runs and 40 stolen bases in their rookie season; however, his offensive production declined over the next few seasons and he never lived up to the promise of his debut season. He played his final season with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
