I saw a video
clip on the White Sox-Indiana game, of all places. Claire Eccles, a 19-year old female knuckleballer
from the University of British Columbia, debuted Wednesday in the West Coast
League, a wood-bat summer league for college players. Among the WCL alums of note are Chris Davis
and Jacoby Ellsbury. Eccles pitched two
innings, yielding two runs on a hit and a walk.
There was
nothing on the MLB site about it, although I did see stories about two ducks in
the outfield at Wrigley Field yesterday and a new commercial featuring Chris
Sale and David Price dressed up as soda jerks.
So, there you have MLB’s priorities on full display. If you knew Eccles’ name, though, you could
search the site for a short MLB Network piece on Eccles’ debut, which is better
than nothing, I guess.
