The last time Sean Kazmar Jr. got an at-bat in the big leagues was 2008 when he was with the San Diego Padres.

He’s been itching to get back to the majors ever since.

“You know, obviously it’s crossed my mind, and looking back at those 12 whatever years, 200 days, it kinda flew by in a sense,” said Kazmar.
