6 Innings with Brian Clapp
We’re bringing back a fan favorite this week by sitting down with Brian Clapp for Six Questions in Six Innings. Clapp begins his third season in the PWL managing a team that seems more likely to fit in at an Amnesty International rally than a wiffleball field. Sporting pirate uniforms and a traveling with a posse that can’t be counted on two hands they make the chatty Masterbatters look like Calvin Coolidge. Their come from behind victory over the Mud Puppies during week one showed they are for real, and their leader also ripped his first career homer while putting on an impressive offensive performance. Sure, it was his 4 errors in the field that helped get them run-ruled in the second game, but don’t count them out or you’ll be walking the plank.
Name: Brian Clapp |

The Rossi Posse, "The Clapp" as his teammates
affectionately call him is standing second from right. Only 6 players are
allowed per roster. |
TWIF: What is your favorite baseball team and who is your
favorite baseball player of all time? TWIF: Small ball or big inning? TWIF: Most annoying member of the Rossi Posse? TWIF: Have you ever done anything under the bleachers you're
not proud of? TWIF: If you could lock up one player from the league in the
Fort for the rest of the season, who would it be? TWIF: In sports, great players or teams are often categorized
by accomplishments they haven’t achieved. In golf, for a long time Phil
Mickleson was the greatest player never to win a major. Rarely are mediocre
players categorized by what they have achieved. However, when people talk
about Brian Clapp in the clubhouses around the PWL, it’s often said, “he’s
the worst player ever to become a manager.” How do you respond to that? |
