La Salle graduate J.P. Sportman, a farmhand with the Oakland Athletics, made an immediate impact on a major league spring training game on Friday afternoon against the Colorado Rockies.

Sportman entered the game as a pinch-runner and then played CF.

And then made this play...

The Rockies announcers might not have been sure who was wearing No. 93 for Oakland, but don't worry -- we were well aware.

Sportman's time in the Cactus League game is noteworthy because he played in a game that featured several regular major leaguers including Troy Tulowitzki, Sam Fuld, and Tyler Clippard.

Sportman joined us right before he went to Spring Training. You can listen to that here.
