Redbirds to retire Clapp's jersey

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Memphis Redbirds legend Stubby Clapp will have his day at AutoZone Park one more time on April 21 when the organization will officially retire his jersey.

Clapp played in 425 games for Memphis from 1999-2002, and still holds several franchise records. The middle infielder was known for his gritty play and flips when taking the field. No other Memphis Redbird has worn No. 10 since Clapp left. In his four years in Memphis, Clapp hit .269 with 87 doubles, 19 triples, 222 walks and 258 runs scored. He holds the career records for doubles, triples, walks and runs.

Following the game between Memphis and Omaha there will be an on-field ceremony to retire Clapp's jersey. Fireworks will follow the ceremony. To buy your Stubby 10 Pack, or to purchase remaining tickets for this special game, please visit memphisredbirds.com or call (901) 721-6000.
