From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William Haselman (born May 25, 1966, in Long Branch, New Jersey) is currently the First Base Coach for the Boston Red Sox and is wearing number 32. Before taking over the role of First Base Coach, Haselman served as Bullpen Coach. He was the catcher in Roger Clemens's 20 strikeout game against the Detroit Tigers in 1996.

During his 13-year playing career (1990-2003) with the Texas Rangers, Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers, Haselman hit .259 with 47 HR and 210 RBI. His best season came in 1996, when he hit .274 with 8 HR and 34 RBI in a career-high 237 AB for the Red Sox. He hit .314 with 6 HR in 105 AB for Texas in 1998. The former catcher was a first-round draft pick of the Rangers in 1987.

Haselman's most dramatic offensive performance came in a game at Fenway Park against the Toronto Blue Jays on June 27, 1995. With the bases empty and the score tied 5-5, he pinch hit for catcher Mike Macfarlane in the bottom of the 11th inning. Haselman shattered his bat, sending a Woody Williams' offering sailing over the Green Monster to give the Boston Red Sox their first walk-off win of their 1995 Eastern Division winning campaign.

Haselman was a NCAA Division 1 quarterback, serving as the backup to Troy Aikman during his American football career at UCLA. He also shares his birthday and place of birth with pitcher John Montefusco. He is an alumni of Saratoga High School in Saratoga, California.
