Everett Ben "Chris" Krug (born December 25, 1939 in Los Angeles, California) is a former Major League Baseball catcher. Krug was signed by the St. Louis Cardinals as an amateur free agent in 1958.
Krug played in parts of three major league seasons, two (1965 and 1966) with the Chicago Cubs (who drafted him out of the Cardinals' system in the 1964 minor league draft) and one (1969) with the expansion San Diego Padres.
Post major league career, Krug started a company, Athletic Turfs, Inc. in his native California. Through this company, Krug was involved in building the field for the movie Field of Dreams. https://mlbpaainterns.mlblogs.com/one-degree-of-separation-264a392f612f
