Randall Jerome Messenger (born August 13, 1981 in Reno, Nevada) is a Major League Baseball right-handed relief pitcher for the San Francisco Giants organization. He is 6 feet 6 inches (1.98 m) tall and weighs 240 pounds (109 kg), and made his Major League debut on June 22, 2005, for the Florida Marlins. He was drafted in the 1999 MLB Draft in the 11th round (326th overall) by the Florida Marlins.[1] On May 31, 2007, Messenger was traded to the San Francisco Giants for Armando Benítez.
Messenger is known for giving teammate Scott Olsen a black eye while he was with the Marlins, which ironically spurred Olsen to a 4-0 record over four decisions.
Messenger is also well-known amongst his peers as wearing a straight bill on his cap.
He graduated from Sparks High School in 1999.
On March 5, 2008, he was optioned down to Triple-A Fresno.[2] He was released on March 12, but signed a new minor league deal with the Giants a few days later.
