Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:For Шаблон:Infobox baseball biography Dennis Clay Powell (born August 13, 1963) is an American former professional baseball pitcher.[1]
Powell was undrafted and unrecruited out of Colquitt County High School and, after graduating, got a job on an ice truck to help support his mother and three brothers while playing semi-pro baseball in Albany, Georgia. It was not until his second season that he attracted the attention of scouts and was given a signing bonus of $3,000 to join the Los Angeles Dodgers (Шаблон:Inflation); he had been making $150 per week on the ice truck (Шаблон:Inflation).[2]
He played in Major League Baseball for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Seattle Mariners, and Milwaukee Brewers, in all or parts of eight seasons (Шаблон:By–Шаблон:By). Powell also played one season for the Kintetsu Buffaloes of Nippon Professional Baseball in Шаблон:Npby.
One of Powell's brothers and a nephew died in a car accident in April 1989 in Georgia and two more of his brothers died in a car accident only a few months later in January 1990 on U.S. Route 319 in Georgia.[3]
As a big league hitter, Powell had three hits — all doubles — in 17 at bats (owing to the fact that he played mostly in the American League, during the designated hitter era), for a .176 batting average. The fact that all three of Powell’s hits were two-baggers ties him with Earl Hersh and Verdo Elmore for the most hits in a major league career in which all the player’s hits were doubles.
