Frank Schwindel, a 29-year-old 2010 graduate of Livingston High School, was called up to the Oakland A’s Major League Baseball team on his birthday last Tuesday, June 29.
He had been playing for the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators when he was told to pack his bags for the big leagues. His wife and infant son flew from their New Jersey home to see him play this past week, according to reports.
In his first at bat with the team, on Wednesday, June 30, Schwindel hit a home run. As of press time, Schwindel has recorded three hits in 11 at bats, with an OPS (on base percentage plus slugging percentage) of .909, which is well above the league average.
