JEFF HUSON HOME PAGE

"Why?" you might ask, "would someone dedicate an entire web page to a utility infielder?"

Let me tell you....

"He does everything all the time. The stars shine bright in the glare of all the attention, but the utility players have to make the plays. Day in, day out. Sometimes at second, sometimes at third (but NEVER at short with the Orioles), even occasionally in the outfield. The utility player was the best athlete in high school. He earned his shot at the majors by working every day in the minors. When it became apparent that he wouldn't be the star, the every day starter, the utility player honed his skills. He learned to drag a bunt, to slap a ball through a hole, to take a throw and tag a runner without getting hurt. He became a journeyman role model, carrying his glove like a lunch bucket as he showed up to do a job. A late inning assassin called in to take out a relief pitcher. A seventh inning samurai sent in to sacrifice in his lone at bat. The utility player...Every fan's Everyman."

In the summer of 1990, I had occasion to meet Jeff Huson in a hotel restaurant in Boston, Massachussetts (where his then team, the Texas Rangers, were staying). Too embarrassed to approach a table-full of major-league ballplayers, I sent my younger brother to fetch their autographs. He did so by explaining that I was a deaf-mute (purely his own invention). The players, who had heard me speak earlier, laughed a bit, but agreed to give the autographs.

Later that season, I sent a letter to Jeff Huson thanking him for his autograph and explaining that I was not, in fact, a deaf mute. To my surprise, he responded, sending me a short note and an autographed baseball card.

Six years later, I wrote to him through the Baltimore Orioles and again received a response, this time with a signed post card(bearing the same message he had written years earlier).

I was able to attend an Orioles/A's game a few weeks after receiving the letter and he was nice enough to come over and talk to me and give me a bat he had cracked during batting practice.

During the summer of 1996, I was passing through Louisville, Kentucky and visited the Bat Museum (Holy Hardwood, Batman!). As part of the display as you enter the first exhibit, there is a wall that has been covered with a life-size photograph of the Baltimore Orioles infield. And who do you think is guarding second base?

None other than Jeff Huson! As I stood to take this picture I thought, the utility player truly IS everywhere.
