My Take
A relief pitcher nicknamed "the Claw" is already someone I want to read about, and Cla Meredith earns it. Coming out of Richmond, Virginia and Meadowbrook High, he carved out a Major League career across the Red Sox, Padres, and Orioles with that deceptive sidearm delivery hitters hated to face. Relievers live in the most thankless, high-pressure niche in baseball, asked to slam a door someone else opened, and I love that tension. Bouncing between three clubs isn't a knock; it means three front offices wanted what he threw. The nickname wasn't decoration. It was a warning to the batter's box.
