“It’s tough to get seen up there,” he said. “It’s kind of forgotten territory.” - Kam Mickolio quoted in the Seattle Times in 2011 on playing baseball in Montana
There aren’t many players that hail from Montana and have made the MLB. According to baseball-reference just 26 players that were born in Montana enjoyed the opportunity of at least an inning pitched or an at bat in the major leagues. Of those, 3-time All Star Dave McNally might ring a bell to the old timers. The pitcher, who died in 2002, spent almost his entire career at the Baltimore Orioles and added one more year in Montreal, from 1962 to 1975, and threw 2730.
