Mules in the Pros Mules in the Pros Morgan Burkhart Boston - 2000-01 • Kansas City - 2003 Morgan Burkhart made his major league debut with the Boston Red Sox on June 27, 2000 and, in doing so, became the first former Mules’ baseball player to appear in a major league game. In his first major league at-bat, Burkhart singled off the Orioles’ Mike Mussina. He was 2-for-4 in the game. He wound up playing in 25 games with the Red Sox in 2000, hitting .288 with four home runs and 18 RBI. In 2001 Burkhart spent most of the season at Pawtucket (R.I.), where he hit .269 with 25 home runs and 62 RBI. He made his second trip to the major leagues that year, when he played in 11 games with Boston, hitting .182 with one home run and four RBI. However, the Red Sox released him after the 2001 season. In 2002, Burkhart played in 42 games with Japan’s Fukuoka Daiei Hawks before being signed by the Kansas City Royals for the 2003 season. In six games for the Royals, he went 3-for-15 (.200). Burkhart spent most of the season with Kansas City’s Triple A affiliate in Omaha, Neb., where he batted .251 with 17 home runs, 18 doubles, and 57 RBI. A key member of the Mules’ 1994 national championship team, Burkhart had spent five-plus seasons in the minor leagues before being called up. With Pawtucket in 2000, he hit .255 with 23 home runs and 77 RBI. Before the Red Sox signed him to a minor league contract in 1998, Burkhart had enjoyed a stellar career in the independent Frontier League for Richmond, Indiana. He won three league MVP awards and was Baseball America’s Independent Player of the Year in 1998, when he hit .404 with 36 home runs and 98 RBI in 80 games. In fact, the Frontier League Most Valuable Player award is now named in his honor. In 1999 he was named MVP of the Mexican winter league after hitting 18 home runs and driving in 55 runs in 67 games. As a major leaguer, Burkhart finished his career with 121 at bats, five home runs, 23 RBI, and a .248 batting average.

He became the first player to begin the season on a major league roster in 2009, and made 12 starts for the A’s with a 4-1 record before suffering an elbow injury in late June that put him out for the year. In 2005, the St. Louis, Mo. product was the No. 2 pitcher for the top-ranked Central Missouri Mules at the Division II College World Series. He finished his career at UCM with a bang as well, tossing an eight-inning, seven strikeout performance that defeated Delta State 2-1 on May 30, 2005. After the season he was one of five Mules pitchers drafted in the top 11 rounds of the 2005 First Year Player Draft (more than any other school that season). He was picked in the 10th round by the Philadelphia Phillies and quickly moved up in that organization until July 2008, when he was involved in a trade for Joe Blanton that sent him to the Oakland A’s farm system. Outman was traded to the Colorado Rockies in a three-player deal in January 2012 and has also made stops with the Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees and Atlanta Braves.

  • A's News Clips, Thursday, March 3, 2011 A's Outfielder Coco Crisp
    A’s News Clips, Thursday, March 3, 2011 A's outfielder Coco Crisp arrested on suspicion of DUI By Joe Stiglich Oakland Tribune A's center fielder Coco Crisp was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol early Wednesday morning, according to an A's news release. Crisp was detained and taken to City of Scottsdale Jail before being released Wednesday morning. He showed up to Phoenix Municipal Stadium on time to join the team for pre-game drills and was in uniform -- but not in the lineup -- for a game against the Cleveland Indians. Crisp declined to comment when asked about the situation, saying he would address the media "in due time." "The A's are aware of the situation and take such matters seriously," the A's statement read. "The team and Coco will have no further comment until further details are available." Crisp, 31, is in his second season with the A's and is slated to play center field and be the leadoff hitter. Ironically, the A's held a security meeting with Major League Baseball officials before taking the field Wednesday. A message that is stressed in the annual meeting is having awareness of the off-field dangers that exist for professional athletes. Crisp signed with the A's as a free agent in December 2009. He hit .279 with eight homers and 38 RBIs last season but played in just 75 games because of a fractured pinkie and strained rib cage muscle. Crisp posts frequently on his Twitter account and often makes reference to his nighttime socializing.

Call Number: HG2.2.7 Creator: Haverhill Public Library Title: Mike Ryan Collection, 1964-1997 Dates: 1964-1997 Size: 1.0487 linear feet Language(s): Collection materials are in English. Abstract: Mike Ryan was born in Haverhill and would go on to become a major league baseball player for several times including the Boston Red Sox, Philadelphia Phillies, and Pittsburgh Pirates. He would spend 35 years in baseball, 27 in the majors. Biographical History Michael James Ryan was born on November 25, 1941 in Haverhill, Massachusetts. His father was John Ryan and his mother was Lorraine Ryan. John Ryan “worked as a foreman at a shoe factory in Haverhill owned by his brother Dan Ryan. Lorraine Ryan was a homemaker.”1 Mike has six siblings (five brothers and a sister). Mike came from an athletic family. His father was a tackle who nearly made the Boston Yanks of the National Football League and “His grandfather’s cousin Jack Ryan had been a major-league ballplayer, breaking in with Louisville of the old American Association in 1889. Jack Ryan later caught for the National League Boston Beaneaters from 1894 through 1896, and finished his playing career with the Washington Senators, appearing in one game in each of the 1912 and 1913 seasons”2 In addition, Paul Ryan, Mike’s uncle, was a minor league A ball pitcher.

  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).
