Dustan Mohr

Dustan Mohr in 2001

Dustan Kyle Mohr (born June 19, 1976 in Hattiesburg, Mississippi) is an outfielder in Major League Baseball for the Boston Red Sox. Dustan signed a minor league contract on January 23, 2006, and spent the first week of the 2006 season playing for the Pawtucket Red Sox before being activated on April 11, 2006 when centerfielder Coco Crisp was placed on the 15-day disabled list.

Mohr attended the University of Alabama and was drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the ninth round of the 1997 draft. He signed with the Minnesota Twins as a free agent on April 1, 2000.

After four seasons in the Twins organization, Mohr was traded to the Giants before the 2004 season. Mohr struggled during the first few months before catching fire in early June. His aggressive defense and clutch hitting made him a favorite among Giants fans.

The Giants closed in on the division leading Los Angeles Dodgers in the last month of the season. In the second to last series of the season, against the San Diego Padres, Mohr was injured as he tracked down a foul ball in right field. He tripped over the bullpen mound as the ball tailed towards the stands. He held on to the ball, and the Padres scored the game's winning run. He did not play during the season's final series against the Dodgers.

As a member of the Boston Red Sox, Dustan Mohr has filled in occasionally in outfield, either replacing Trot Nixon or Coco Crisp. For the majority of Red Sox games, however, he does not start.
