Mabry, a graduate of Bohemia Manor High School, in Chesapeake City, Maryland, played three years at West Chester University of Pennsylvania, before being drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 6th round of the 1991 amateur draft.\n', '

During his fourteen-year MLB career Mabry played for eight teams, including three different stints with the Cardinals (1994–1998, 2001, 2004–2005). In Mabry\'s only season with over 400 at bats, he led the Cardinals with 161 hits and was fourth in the National League for first basemen in fielding percentage at .994 and was errorless in 14 games in the outfield. He hit for a natural cycle in a May 18, 1996 loss to the Colorado Rockies.\n', '

Mabry was one of the few major leaguers who preferred not to wear batting gloves. He was also somewhat versatile on defense, playing more than 100 games at left and right field as well as first and third base. He also made two career appearances pitching with dubious results. In 1 inning of work he gave up 7 earned runs for a career ERA of 63.\n', '
