Christopher Lambert was born August 24th, 1968 in New Haven, Connecticut. His single mother was employed by the U.S. Postal Service. Lambert grew up in Hamden, Connecticut, where his family had settled and still owns the house he grew up in to this day. He first thought about playing baseball came to him after a chance meeting with Thurman Munson at his first ever Major League Baseball game at Yankee Stadium in 1976 at the age of eight years old. After that encounter, Lambert started playing baseball everyday, after a few years his mother wanted him to take a part time job, his reply was I will, when one opens up for him in baseball. His mother and grandparents explained to him that this will never happen, but was happy that he had a dream to chase, however wanted him to have a job with security and saw baseball as unsafe, so to please his parents he took a job with the new haven register, but after a year, Lambert took a job at AMF Hamden Lanes bowling ally at the age of fourteen. This allowed him to meet many professional people, train, learn about the "real" business world and allowed for a flexible schedule to play baseball. Also at this time Lambert started to become interested in commercial building and designs.
