I don't know about Christy working in a gas station but Jimmy Sheckard, the fine deadball outfielder sure did work in a gas station after his retirement

From the SABR bioproject page

On a cold Sunday in January 1947, Jimmy Sheckard walked to his attendant's job at a gas station directly across from Stumpf Field, the home of the Red Roses. As he limped toward the station (he suffered from arthritis in his left foot, which doctors believed was the result of an old baseball injury), a car struck him from behind and knocked him to the ground. Sheckard died of head injuries three days later. Umpire Bill Klem, who had called the balls and strikes in many of Jimmy's games in the National League, presided over a ceremony in his honor at Stumpf Field, and the city of Lancaster erected a monument to his memory in Buchanan Park.
