Michael Edwin Bruhert (born June 21, 1951) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher. He is the former son-in-law of former New York Mets manager Gil Hodges. Bruhert attended Christ the King Regional High School in Middle Village, Queens where he won only one game as a pitcher in four seasons. After high school, he worked scooping ice cream at a local Carvel and played for a local sandlot team. Bruhert found enough success in the Queens-Nassau Summer League to land a tryout at Shea Stadium, after which he signed with the New York Mets.
