Rodney McCray Biography

Rodney McCray is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Player who was born on September 13, 1963 in Mount Vernon, New York, United States. Rodney Duncan McCray, an American former professional baseball player, was born September 13, 1963. He is most well-known for his famous outfield catch by crashing through an outfield fence. Although he was a minor league player, he also played in the majors with the Chicago White Sox (from 1990 to 1992) and the New York Mets (from 1990 to 1992).

McCray signed with the New York Mets in 1992. He was once again reduced to pinch running up until May 8, 1992 against the Dodgers at Shea Stadium. McCray then stayed on the field as the right fielder, and batted in the ninth with only two men on. The score was tied at 3-3. McCray scored the game-winning run off reliever Tim Crews in what would be his last major league at-bat in 1992 and his final. McCray was released by the Mets on June 8, after appearing in two more games as an infield pinch runner. He had batting average of.242 in 61 games with the Thunder Bay Whiskey Jacks in the Northern League in 1993 and he decided to retire as a player.

On August 12, 2006, McCray was honored in Portland with the “Rodney McCray Bobblehead Night”, honoring his memorable crash through the wall. McCray threw out the first pitch, and right-center field of PGE Park was renamed “McCray Alley” in his honor. “I just wish I had run through something like a Coca-Cola sign so I could have gotten endorsements,” McCray said. “Instead, I ran through a local sign, `Flav-R-Pac meats.'” He is currently an assistant coach for Calvin Meadlock for the C2 teams in Houston, Texas.

On June 4, 2019, McCray’s son Grant was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the third round of the 2019 MLB Rule 4 Draft.

McCray was finally promoted to the majors in 1990 with the White Sox. He was then sent back to the AAA Vancouver Canadians, Pacific Coast League, the year after that. McCray chased Chip Hale’s fly ball at Providence Park in Portland, Oregon on May 27, 1991. McCray made the catch initially, but McCray immediately turned around to run right through the plywood fence in rightfield, just to the right side of the 369-foot marker. He then dropped the ball.

He was traded to the White Sox in 1987 after four years with the Padres. McCray was never a great hitter, his minor league career batting average was only.226, but he proved to be an effective hitter by drawing walks, which helped to boost his career on-base percentage to.362, and stealing bases (as many 91 bases in one season with Charleston in 1986).
