ALL-STAR CAMEL
Baltimore Orioles outfielder and former Fighting Camel Cedric Mullins earned the starting centerfield spot on the American League All-Star team on July 13, making him the first former Camel to play in the Mid-Summer Classic since Gaylord Perry in 1979. He’s also Campbell’s first position player to make it to the big leagues — the other nine were all pitchers. Mullins, who played one season at Campbell in 2015, led the American League in hits and was second in batting average heading into the All-Star break, and some consider him the best centerfielder in baseball. He said of being Campbell’s first position player in the big leagues: “That’s an awesome fact and honor. There’s been a lot of great guys to come out of Campbell, and for me to be the first position player is pretty crazy and humbling.” Photo by Julio Cortez/AP/Shutterstock
