#OTD On This Day, July 26, 2014, Collin Balester of the Bristol Pirates pitched in relief in a game against the Greeneville Astros at DeVault Memorial Stadium in Bristol, Virginia. Balester was a five-year Major League veteran when he was assigned to the Bristol Pirates for a rehab assignment, recovering from Tommy John surgery. He made it back to the majors in 2015 to pitch in 16 games with Cincinnati. However, he was sent back to the minors, and became a free agent at the end of the 2017 season.
