Stubby Clapp

Richard Keith "Stubby" Clapp (born February 24, 1973 in Windsor, Ontario) is a Canadian minor league baseball coach and former professional baseball player. He played for 11 years, most notably within the St. Louis Cardinals organization, including a brief stint in Major League Baseball with the Cardinals. In his native Canada, he is best remembered for his performance at the 1999 Pan American Games in Winnipeg, where he slapped a bases-loaded single in the 11th inning to beat a more experienced U.S. team and put Canada in the semifinals. Canada eventually won bronze medal.

Clapp is currently the manager with the Tri-City ValleyCats, a Single-A affiliate of the Houston Astros.
