Marc Sagmoen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marc Richard Sagmoen is a former Major League Outfielder. Batting and throwing lefty was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 13th round of the 1993 amateur draft and signed on June 8, 1993.

[edit] Inside the park home run

Sagmoen is one of the few (and perhaps only) players to record his first Major League base hit as an inside the park home run. It would also be the only home run he hit. This hit came on April 17, 1997 at Kauffman Stadium against the Kansas City Royals in the top of the 5th inning versus Tim Belcher. The Rangers would win the game 5 to 1. It was the highlight of his short career.
