Christopher Michael Coletta is a retired professional baseball player who played one season for the California Angels of Major League Baseball. Coletta was also with the Boston Red Sox organization and had an impressive career in the International League. He played for the now defunct Louisville Colonels?the AAA farm club for Boston at that time. He was teammates with Carlton Fisk and Jim Lonborg during that period of his career. In fact, Coletta was in the Red Sox minor-league system for ten seasons--- from age 18 to age 28. In 1963, he hit .312 for Waterloo. In 1964, he hit .326 for Winston-Salem. Promoted to Class AA in 1965, he hit .318 for Pittsfield --- then in 1966, he hit .311 for Pittsfield. During these four seasons, his on-base percentage was around .400, and his slugging percentage always over .435?all healthy numbers given the low offensive output of the era. After a poor season in 1967, he hit .314 for Savannah in 1968, at which point he was finally promoted to the Class AAA Louisville team. Coletta then was stuck in AAA Louisville for four seasons despite some superb statistics?he hit .294 in 1969, .332 in 1970, .311 in 1971, and .319 in 1972.
