Val Majewski

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Walter V. "Val" Majewski (pronounced my-ESS-skee; born June 19, 1981 in New Brunswick, New Jersey) is a center fielder who currently plays for the Baltimore Orioles. He was the Orioles' third-round draft pick in 2002 and was named the Orioles' Minor League Player of the Year in 2004. Majewski grew up in Freehold Township, where he went to Freehold Township High School, and later attended Rutgers University.

After a successful stint with the Class AA Bowie Baysox, he made his debut for the Orioles on August 20, 2004, but suffered a torn labrum in his left shoulder and was limited to nine games that season. The club originally thought that the shoulder would not require surgery, but after it failed to heal on its own, Majewski had surgery on it and is sidelined for the 2005 season. In the 2006 season, he has been playing for the Ottawa Lynx.
