So I am all excited since I have started this blog about the birth of famous baseball players on December 3rd. It is my birthday so I was hoping to see some big names. Well, I guess Clay Dalrymple is a big name---lots of letters. But hardly a star. Turns out December 3rd was not a big birthday for baseball stars.
Nevertheless, Dalrymple was a terrific defensive catcher, who over the course of his long career, threw out almost fifty percent of runners trying to steal. He spent his career with two teams--the Phillies and the Orioles.
The quotes comes from his Phillies Manager, Gene Mauch
"I never had a better catcher than this guy at nurturing pitchers through the first few innings until they find their stuff."
--Gene Mauch, on Clay Dalrymple.
