    The the Mallards associated with any MLB teams? If so, I can see Coleman being a September call up

    From wiki:
    In 2008 Coleman had a short-lived baseball career after being signed by the Madison (WI) Mallards of the Northwoods League. Many felt Coleman would bring the mid-season boost the Mallards needed. He was in the line-up ready to lead-off when before his first at bat he was ejected for a corked bat and too much pine tar.

    Too bad it was staged.

    Coleman's gimmicks to bring back fame are getting ridiculous. His strike zone would be tiny so he should get on base quite a bit.
