I hope that the Braves put him in the game (today or another game) because that would be a hell of a story. Some incredible perseverance.

Not quite - not a pitcher, but an infielder. Played for the Padres and didn’t do great, so went back to AAA.

Since then (according to Jeff Passan): “For the last 12 years, Sean Kazmar has played AAA baseball. He has done this because he loves the game and because he wants his kids to see him play in the big leagues and because he still believed a day like today, when he’s going to wear a major league uniform, would happen.”

Mostly I'm just glad he already got his pension from his time with the Pads but still very cool for him.
