Before there was Rick Ankiel, the NY Giants had Clint Hartung, the Hurricane from Hondo, Texas. Known for his prodigious power and golden arm, the Giants signed Hartung to a large bonus and injuries derailed him from living up to his potential. A switch to the outfield extended his career for a few more seasons after his pitching days were done. Read below for more on his career and passing.

    Yes he was a great TTM signer. I tried to interview him about 2 years back and apparently he didn't have a phone in his house. I got in touch with one of the reporters who wrote one of the articles that I cited in my article and that's what he told me.
