Timeline

1964

Kevin Daniel Elster (born August 3, 1964) is an American former professional baseball shortstop.

Known primarily for his glove, Elster broke a 42-year-old Major League Baseball record by playing 88 consecutive games at shortstop without committing an error.

1984

Elster was drafted by the New York Mets in the second round of the January 1984 draft out of Golden West College in Huntington Beach, California.

1986

He batted .269 with fourteen home runs and 135 runs batted in over three seasons in the Mets' farm system when he received a somewhat surprising September call up to the majors in 1986 with the Mets on the verge of capturing the National League East.

He made his major league debut as a late inning defensive replacement on September 2 against the San Francisco Giants, and got his first major league hit in his first major league at bat the following day.

Over the remainder of the season, Elster batted .167 with three runs scored.

He had one extra base hit, a double off the Philadelphia Phillies' Kevin Gross.

He appeared in four games of the 1986 National League Championship Series against the Houston Astros, and game six of the World Series against the Boston Red Sox.

In four postseason at bats, he had no hits.

1987

Elster's bat caught up to his glove in 1987 with the triple A Tidewater Tides.

He batted .310 with eight home runs and 74 RBIs, and set a franchise record with 170 hits.

Once again, he received a call up to the majors that September.

He collected four hits in ten at bats, and got his first major league RBI with a double off the St. Louis Cardinals' John Tudor on October 2.

Following the season, the Mets traded incumbent shortstop Rafael Santana to the New York Yankees in order to open the position up for Elster.

1988

In his first game as the Mets' regular shortstop in the 1988 season opener, Elster hit his first major league home run off the Montreal Expos' Dennis Martinez.

His batting average hovered in the low .100s through most of April until a 4-for-5 with two runs and two RBIs performance on April 26 against the Atlanta Braves raised his average above .200.

He managed to keep it there the rest of the way.

On July 19, Elster committed a first-inning error that led to five unearned runs in the Mets' 11–2 loss to the Cincinnati Reds.

It would be his last error of the season.

1989

He would not commit another regular season error until May 9, 1989, giving him a major league record 88 consecutive regular season games at shortstop without an error, breaking a Major League record set by Eddie Brinkman of the Detroit Tigers in 1972.

While his fielding was still solid (he led all National League shortstops with 235 putouts), Elster got off to a slow start with the bat in 1989 (.210 avg., 10 RBIs).

His first home run of the season on June 4 signaled a reversal of fortune for Elster.

From there, he batted .241 with ten home runs and 45 RBIs.

1989 would turn out to be his last full season with the Mets.
