Chad Henne beat him out as starting qb in 2004 but Clayton Richard is doing ok --

the pride of McCutcheon Indiana made the MLB futures game (part of All Star festivities), the US Olympic baseball tam, and yesterday July 23, 2008 made his major debut as a starting pitcher for the Chicago White Sox

C Richard 4.0 7 5 4 1 7 1 85-50 9.00

in the 4 innings he pitched, the 7 Ks and 1 Walk were most impressive against Texas, the best offense in the AL, and White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said Richard earned another start

always good to see one of our own, our of our football players, make it - in whatever sport, and nothing makes me happier to see a Michigan man having success on the White Sox

Really great. I remember running into the guy a couple times at the Union when I stopped to eat lunch and he struck me as a pretty nice guy. Glad to see he made it to the pros. Especially since he did it just before Smardjia did :)
