Clint Hurdle

Clinton Merrick Hurdle (born July 30, 1957 in Big Rapids, Michigan) is a former outfielder in Major League Baseball and the current manager of the Colorado Rockies, having held that position since April 26, 2002.

After being selected by the Kansas City Royals with the 9th pick of the first round in the 1975 amateur draft, Hurdle played for the Royals from 1977 to 1981, but never achieved the level of play suggested by his high draft position. Playing regularly only in 1978 and 1980, he was traded to the Cincinnati Reds in December 1981, and after spending 1982 with the Reds, went on to join the New York Mets (1983, 1985) and St. Louis Cardinals (1986) before ending his career with the Mets in 1987. In June 2006, Hurdle and the Rockies' front office were cited by USA Today as promoting a "Christian-based" atmosphere and guidelines, generating controversy in Colorado and amongst the players, who rejected the report. On April 2, 2006 he was given a two year contract extension.
