"From Clinton to the Show"
One of the many tasks I've been taking on this offseason is updating the list of players who have passed through Clinton on their way to the Major Leagues. With four additions this year, the list is now up to 220 former Clinton Owls, Cubs, Steers, Pirates, C-Sox, Pilots, Dodgers, Giants and LumberKings that have made it to the bigs since 1937.
Here's the complete list (note that the year listed is when they were in Clinton, not the year of their Major League debut):
