Gone fishin' -- catching up with Charlton Jimmerson

What was your greatest moment as a pro?

Charlton Jimerson: "Probably the first time I got called up (Sept. 14, 2005). I played in 2005 with Corpus Christi, Double A. Then I got called up to Triple A (Round Rock) the last week and the season was over. I went home for a week and I have some really supportive family members. And they were like, `You're still going to get called up.' I'm like, `I'm not playing baseball games right now. You don't see people get called up if you're not playing. The season's over.' And a week later, late at night, I got the call from Houston. And that night Roger Clemens was pitching after his mother had passed away, and I got the chance to come in in center field and play defense. I had made it. I put myself in a category that not many get a chance to say.''

Jimerson of the Bluefish hit .364 (8-for-22) with two doubles, three home runs, nine RBIs and six runs scored in six games to earn Connecticut Post Player of the Week honors May. 16-21.
