Brewers call up veteran speedster Berry
Noted speed specialist Quintin Berry has 389 steals in the Minors and has been caught only once in the Majors. (Bobby Stevens/MiLB.com)CINCINNATI -- A little more than two months ago, Quintin Berry was home in San Diego taking swings in the batting cage while wife Priscilla fed the pitching machine. On Tuesday, he joined a Major League pennant race.
The Brewers purchased Berry's contract for the remainder of the regular season, adding a burst of speed to the bench. Berry, 32, is 27-for-28 on stolen-base attempts over parts of four big league seasons, on top of his 389 steals in the Minors.
