Favorite Player: Quinton McCracken

Quinton McCracken was the leadoff hitter of the 1998 Tampa Bay Devil Rays team, the first year they played in MLB. Quinton was a speedster, who would've been a star in my opinion, but never got the chance. He was a 2-sport star at Duke, playing football and baseball, and went from being drafted by the Rockies in 1992 to making his MLB debut in 1995. He hit .292 with 7 Home Runs and 59 RBIs in 1998 after being drafted by the Rays, and was named their first ever MVP. He missed most of '99 with a torn ACL, and then they kept him in the minors for most of 2000. He could've been a nice player if they gave him some at-bats. Quinton stuck around the Majors until 2005, and retired following the 2007 season. He worked for a few teams in the front office after he retired, most recently with the Houston Astros, winning a World Series with them last year. In 2019, he became a coach with Durham, and that makes my chances of meeting him a little better, as he has a chance of perhaps moving around and getting in a league with cities closet to me.
