Cabin Twelve’s favorite fat guy has landed a new gig – managing the Washington Nationals’ Single-A team in Hagerstown, Maryland. I, for one, am glad he’s no longer relegated to Indie League baseball or beer league softball, or whatever his other career options were.

And yes, I should feel bad for making a list of Matt LeCroy memories and only pointing out one big hit along with two rather embarrassing moments in the man’s professional life. I will attempt to mildly rectify that by saying he’s one of my all-time favorite Twins player for one reason. In a game that values precision, skill and execution, Matty seemed to joyfully lack them, and that’s what made him fun to watch. To me, he will always be a fat dude that got to live out the dream of playing professional baseball and was determined to work at it and have a damn good time doing it. Kudos Matty, hope the managing/coaching career is long and prosperous. With that, I present, A Brief History of Matthew LeCroy, in player photos:
