Michael David Bishop (November 5, 1958 – February 8, 2005) was a Major League Baseball catcher. Listed at 6' 2", 188 lb., Bishop batted and threw right handed. He was born in Santa Maria, California.[1]
The California Angels selected Bishop in the 12th round of the 1976 MLB Draft. He then signed as a free agent with the New York Mets in 1983, appearing for them in just three games in his only season in the majors, while hitting .125 (1-for-8) with a double and two runs scored.[1]
Besides catching, Bishop also played the four infield positions and as a corner outfielder during eight Minor League seasons spanning 1976–1983.[2]
In between, he played winter ball with the Navegantes del Magallanes club of the Venezuelan Winter League in the 1981-82 season.[3]
Bishop died in 2005 in Bakersfield, California, at the age of 46.[1]
