MoSiouxFan Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Best of the Best: I got a big kick out of the fact that, according to the announcers, they closed the concession stand behind the left field bleachers and concourse for safety reasons because Campbell's 450 ft.+ blasts were too close for comfort. 1 Quote
The Sicatoka Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 The shot to right-center, 436 feet, was stunning. When it left the bat I thought he'd popped out to right. Quote

FSSD Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 That was a fun watch - congrats to Jeff C. I hope this gives him the opportunity to continue his career. Quote
dmksioux Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Looks like Jeff will get the chance to continue playing some baseball and with the best team in baseball...ok, I may be a bit biased on the last part as I'm a life long Braves fan. Congrats to Jeff! Jeff Campbell @catfishy21 41m41 minutes ago The last week has brought so much joy. I am happy to say that I will be signing with the Atlanta Braves and continuing my baseball career! 3 Quote

SiouxVolley Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 The Braves assigned Campbell to Danville, Va, of the Appy League. Being there is six teams in the Appy a relatively short distance from me, and to circle some dates when Danville is in town. http://www.milb.com/schedule/index.jsp?sid=t429 Quote

Hope he gets a winter league assignment where he can work on pitch selection. Quote
