- Born March 8, 1964
Lance Graye McCullers Sr. (born March 8, 1964) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played all or part of seven seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the San Diego Padres, New York Yankees, Detroit Tigers, and Texas Rangers between 1985 and 1992.
McCullers was an offensive lineman and defensive tackle while attending Tampa Catholic High School, but switched to baseball following an injury. He was selected by the Philadelphia Phillies during the 1982 MLB draft and traded to the Padres in 1983. In the 1984 and 1985 seasons he played for the Miami Marlins, Beaumont Golden Gators, and Las Vegas Stars.
McCullers was promoted to the Padres after Goose Gossage suffered an injury. He was traded to the Yankees and then to the Tigers. He was diagnosed with blood clots in his throwing arm in 1990, and doctors told him to not pitch again. However, he returned to baseball following surgery and played for the Oklahoma City 89ers before the Texas Rangers bought out his contract. He became a free agent and signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers where he pitched for the Albuquerque Dukes and Calgary Cannons.
