Darryl Hamilton, an outfielder for the Mets on their last pennant-winning team, was shot to death on Sunday at a home in suburban Houston.

The authorities in Pearland, Tex., said that Hamilton was the victim of a murder-suicide and that Monica Jordan, the mother of Hamilton’s 14-month-old son, had also been found dead in the home from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The child was in the house, unharmed.

“All of us at Major League Baseball are shocked and saddened by this tragedy,” Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement, adding later, “He was a talented and personable individual, and we were proud to call him a member of the baseball family.”

Hamilton, who was 50, played 13 seasons in the majors, for Milwaukee, Texas, San Francisco, Colorado and the Mets. He is a member of the Brewers’ Wall of Honor and earned a distinction on June 12, 1997, as the first batter in a regular-season interleague game. He singled for the Giants against the Rangers.
