Stephen Edward Dillon is an American former professional baseball player. He was a left-handed pitcher whose professional career lasted for four seasons, including Major League stints with the 1963 and 1964 New York Mets. While Dillon appeared in only three MLB games during his career, all in relief, he pitched in the first-ever night game played at Shea Stadium on May 6, 1964. Listed at 5 feet 10 inches tall and 160 pounds, Dillon initially signed with the New York Yankees and turned in a stellar 14?7 won?lost record for the 1962 Fort Lauderdale Yankees of the Class D Florida State League, striking out 196 batters in 169 innings pitched, with a 2.61 earned run average. He was selected by the Mets in the first-year player draft after that season and spent 1963 with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons. He made his Met debut on Thursday, September 5, in a 9?0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. Relieving Roger Craig in the sixth inning, he lasted 1? frames and gave up three hits and two earned runs, with one strikeout.
