Jeff Tackett

Jeffrey Wilson Tackett (born December 1, 1965, in Fresno, California) was a backup catcher for the Baltimore Orioles from 1991 to 1994. A career .217 hitter, Tackett was more renowned for his defensive skills behind the plate than for his hitting. He also made cameos in the films Bob Roberts and Dave as an Orioles catcher who caught the ceremonial first pitch thrown by the president.[1]

He went to Dos Caminos grade school and Los Altos Middle School, and was a 1984 graduate of Adolfo Camarillo High School in Camarillo, California, the school at which his father Terry became the principal.

Tackett is one of a number of baseball players on the list of players with a home run in their final at-bat.
