Adam MelhuseAdam Michael Melhuse (born March 27, 1972 in Santa Clara, California) is a Major League Baseball catcher who plays for the Oakland Athletics (2003-04). Previously, Melhuse played with the Los Angeles Dodgers (2000) and Colorado Rockies (2000-01). He bats from both sides of the plate and throws right-handed. In a four-season career, Melhuse is a .246 hitter with 17 home runs and 57 RBI in 173 games. Melhuse collected his first career hit on August 24, 2000, in the 12th inning of an unusual game between the Rockies and Atlanta Braves. Out of pitchers, manager Buddy Bell asked injured catcher Brent Mayne, who was unable to swing a bat due to a sprained left wrist, if he could pitch. Mayne came in and pitched the 12th inning, holding the Braves scoreless. The following inning, with two outs and the bases loaded, Melhuse, pinch-hitting for Mayne, singled over the shortstop's head to win the game.
