Carlin Debuts; Catches Maddux’s 350th Win
Tonight, Luke Carlin became the 63rd former Wizards Player to make his Major League Baseball debut. In three plate appearances, he struck out three times. But he did something that couldn’t be accomplished in four previous tries by his predecessors. He was the catcher for Greg Maddux’s 350th win.
Luke Carlin caught the future Hall of Famers, Maddux and Hoffman. He looked spry behind the plate, but was overwhelmed at the plate, punching out 3 times. All told, the Friars struck out 12 times. [hat tip to Friar Forum]
I gotta think your first big league game is pretty memorable. I guess that would be the only way it could be made even more memorable.
