PrintLess than a week remains until pitchers and catchers report. Behind door #6 we find...Seth McClung!
Here are some other noted baseball-playing Klingons, although none of them are from West Virginia.
There's probably no one on the web who loves Son of Clung as much as we do here at BCB, which is why I wanted to make sure we mentioned him today, on his 28th birthday. McClung was born on February 7, 1981 in Lewisberg, West Virginia, and has grown up to become one of just 51 West Virginians to pitch in the major leagues, and only the second Brewer:

I'm glad we got 2 on the good half
You know, 50% of West Virginians are completely toothless
I just sit back and root for the taser
I knew it!
I mean, it is his birthday, who else would you pick?
more random trivia—you know how bored broadcasters (or Vin Scully) will mention McClung’s high school single season home run record? iirc, the record is a tie, and the guy he tied with is Nick Swisher. I didn’t realize that Swisher was from West Virginia, as everything seems to tie him with Ohio, but he’s from a town on the WV/OH border. McClung, on the other hand, is from a county near North Carolina. I don’t know if he ever played against Swisher in high school competition (yes, I looked, and couldn’t find anything.) McClung certainly faced Josh Hamilton a lot, however, back in middle school in North Carolina. Hamilton hit the kid hard. (checked-swing home run? wtf)
AWESOME!!!
thanks RJ. happy birthday seth!
im starting to get very excited about spring training. i will be there a week from wednesday!
I genuinely hope we continue to get reports.
I’m anxiously awaiting another McClung report, if it can measure up to last year’s remains to be seen.
Scored three times and detonated an indisputable in four visits to the batting box.
thanks guys...
i will do my best to report and post way too many photos of baseball down there…
hopefully i will find a friendly internet connection. that has been the most difficult part of reporting my experiences down there… ha.
Ditto that (no, not the Pokemon)
you are the only person who goes to ST and does not fill his or her flickr account with 800K pictures of Braun, Hardy, or Fielder. Not that I mind those guys, but the media already do so well with taking pictures of them….
