**Again, I'm not trying to be difficult but this list is for MLB players only. They must be currently playing MLB or have played in MLB recently in the last year or two. No minor league guys can be included. Thanks!

Wait.... You list a few players that are not in the MLB or any minor league affiliates in the "Current MLB players" list?

I couldn't get the title of my thread in full because of character length rules. Because of that I do have a few players listed that are not "currently" on an MLB roster.

There are a select few that last played for an MLB team a couple of years ago. Some of those are going through injury rehab right now too but are not on any official team. Thanks!

BTW, I added Mookie Betts. I thought I had put him in there but for some reason when I copied the list from Notepad he wasn't there.

Could throw Matt Cain on that list. Graduated from Houston High in Germantown, TN.

 

[crusse10]

Go Logan!

sidenote: still sad Blake Forsythe didn't work out. Would have been baller to have a kid who went to my high school and college end up making it to the majors with my favorite baseball team

Was he born & raised in the state of Tennessee though? That's what this list is about. Players must have been born in Tennessee & not moved here from another state.

I could probably add those that may have moved here as a child & went to both middle & high school here but really looking for players only born in Tennessee. Thanks!

 

[tonybologna]

Just added Bryce Brentz to the lists but hasn't played on an MLB roster since 2014.

Would you include players who were born in like Olive Branch or Southaven, which is basically Memphis?

I will include any MLB player that was born in Tennessee period. They have to be currently on an MLB roster or have been recently(last year or so) & is out due to injury rehab or something else. Thanks!

I thought the Pomeranz brothers were from Collierville?

Drew Pomeranz Baseball Stats by Baseball Almanac

This list Memphis as his hometown/born & it's a pretty reliable site. Has a lot of history stuff for baseball as well.

 

[tonybologna]

Added Drew Hayes to the list who is now playing for the Cincinnati Reds.

They are

 

[tonybologna]

They are

I just listed a link right above your post that says they're from Memphis. Multiple websites also confirm this too.

Edit: I'll take that back. I found that Wikipedia & baseball reference both have them listed from Collierville. That's weird & crazy. I'll change the hometown of Drew Pomeranz to Collierville now. Thanks!

Logan Darnell is in the Twins organization and is from Nashville. Faced him in High School

Also, there is a glaring problem with R.A. Dickeys bio in this thread. I'm not even going to point it out

Well, I just checked it & changed one thing. I don't know if it's what you're talking about or not. I changed Tennessee Univ into the University of Tennessee.

If that's what your nitpicking about then I don't know what to think. If it's something else let me know & I'll fix it. I said people can help me with this front page information if they find anything wrong or something to possibly add. Thanks!
