Ken Phelps

Ken Phelps is a former Major League Baseball player who played as a designated hitter and first baseman from 1986 to 1991. He is perhaps best known for being involved in a controversial trade in which the New York Yankees traded away Jay Buhner to acquire him, a decision that has been heavily scrutinized in baseball lore. Phelps had a solid career with several teams, including the Yankees and the Seattle Mariners, and was recognized for his power-hitting ability during his playing days.
