So I was watching Mike and Mike in the morning while eating my cereal this morning when I heard the name Clay Zavada. While this name would mean little to nothing to most, it caught my attention. I hit the rewind button on my TV and sure enough there was Clay Zavada, my old college teammate!!!
I was shocked b/c I didn't even know he was still playing baseball let alone in the Majors pitching for the Diamondbacks. He always was very talented (a lefty who throws low 90's) but I never expected him to be in the majors.
Here is a great read on him as he had to overcome a lot to be where he is at and another article that sports off his Rollie Fingers like stache!
