I’ll bet you didn’t know Tony Campana was still playing baseball.
The former Cubs outfielder turned 35 earlier this year and had been playing since 2018 in various leagues in Mexico.
Saturday, he sent out this tweet:
So let’s remember a guy!
Campana was selected by the Cubs in the 13th round in 2008 out of the University of Cincinnati — the same place Ian Happ played his college ball.
Truth be told, Campana wasn’t that great a hitter or outfielder, but man, could he run. He stole 66 bases in the Cubs organization in 2009 split between Low-A and Advanced-A and stole another 48 bases at Double-A Tennessee in 2010.
