My Take

Stubby Clapp is a name that makes you smile, but his story earns genuine affection from me. Eleven years in pro baseball for a brief flicker in the majors with the Cardinals is a portrait of pure devotion to the game over personal glory. That he then climbed into coaching and reached the big-league first base box says everything about a man living his dream in whatever form it would take. At 173 cm he was never going to overpower anyone, so I suspect he won on smarts and grit. I'll always pull for that kind of baseball lifer.
