Wil Culmer

Wilfred Hillard Culmer (November 11, 1957 – October 14, 2003[1]) was a Bahamian Major League Baseball player for the Cleveland Indians.

[2] Culmer originally played baseball in the Bahamas after graduating high school, and was considered to be one of the country's best home run hitters.

Jayson Stark noted that "he can be as good as he wants to be" but was making too many fundamental mistakes in the minors for his natural talent to transfer.

[4] Culmer made the Indians roster out of spring training, and in his debut on April 12 got two hits in three at-bats.

After a 1984 season that was split between the Buffalo Bisons and Maine Guides, Culmer retired and returned to the Bahamas until his death in 2003.
