STUBBY CLAPP TRADED
I almost forgot about about Richard Keith Clapp. He was back and forth between Memphis and St. Louis in 2001, playing secondbase and leftfield. In 25 ABs that year he hit .200/.231/.280, but did have (as Bob Uecker's character Harry Doyle said about Roger Dorn in Major League) several "foul tips".

Clapp was sent from Cleveland to Toronto for a player to be named and cash. Clapp was assigned to Toronto's AA affiliate in New Hampshire.

Stubby Clapp is one of the few Canadian-born players to break in to the Major Leagues. Who cares about his ability though, his name is Stubby. How great is that?
