Imagine playing seven seasons in the Minor Leagues to eventually get the call to the Majors for one professional game. That’s the story of former Detroit Tiger Daniel Fields in a nutshell. To this day it’s still a mystery of why he didn’t get a longer chance in the Major League.
“That call is one of the best calls that I’ve ever gotten,” said Daniel Fields in an interview with A Big Den For Cats. “It was like the best feeling of all time and I might’ve shed a couple tears to be honest.”
After being drafted out of high school to fighting through the Minors for five seasons, that answer was expected.
