Some Famous People called Jerry Owens
Jerry Owens
Jerry Lee Owens (born February 16, 1981) is a former professional baseball player. He played most of the season with the Triple-A Charlotte Knights (Chicago White Sox affiliation) of the International League, but was called up and made his major league debut as a pinch runner on September 11. His first start came on September 27, a game in which he collected both his first hit and stole his first base as a major leaguer.
Owens graduated from Hart High School in California, where he played wide receiver on the championship football team with NFL quarterback Kyle Boller. In high school, Jerry was named to numerous All-America teams and was an elite recruit. Owens originally attended the University of California, Los Angeles, but later transferred to The Master's College in California after several injuries and a revelation. At the Master's College, he was named the Small College All-American Outfielder for 2003, before being selected by the Montreal Expos in the 2nd Round (57th overall) of the amateur entry draft.
Owens announced his retirement from professional baseball in November 2016 while playing for the Naranjeros de Hermosillo of the Mexican Pacific League. Owens currently serves as manager of the Arizona Complex League Indians, the domestic Rookie-level affiliate of the Cleveland Indians.
