Meet the New Guy: Kristian Campbell

He’s Kristian Eron Campbell, and he comes from Chattanooga, Tennessee by way of Marietta, Georgia. The Greater Atlanta area has become one of the world’s great sources of baseball talent in recent years, and Campbell’s alma mater, George Walton Comprehensive High School, has already produced at least nine pro ballplayers, with Carter Kieboom of the Angels being the most recent alum to reach the big leagues. But the school isn’t just known for sports, having also produced Andy Dick (Newsradio fans, let me hear you!) as well as both Chris and Rich Robinson, the brothers who formed the Black Crowes.
