Wearing his current New York Yankees No. 35 white pinstripe jersey, Slocomb native Clay Holmes was back in his old high school gym Friday afternoon as the last jersey he
During a ceremony at the Slocomb High gym, the Slocomb 2011 graduate of the school, who has played the last five years in Major League Baseball, had his high school No. 21 baseball jersey retired in front of family, coaches, former teammates, the current Slocomb baseball team and other current students.
The 29-year-old Holmes added he hopes his jersey being hung up in retirement inspires current and future RedTops. Holmes admitted there was no significance to him in high school of the No. 21 jersey, but will have significance now that it is retired. A relief pitcher, the 6-foot-5, 245-pound Holmes has played the last season-and-a half with the Yankees after playing for three plus seasons for the Pittsburgh Pirates, who selected him in the ninth round of the 2011 draft and first called him up to the big leagues in April of 2018.
In addition to his athletic success, Holmes was also known for his school work as he was the valedictorian of his senior class with a 4.0 grade point average. Friday’s ceremony gave Holmes a chance to catch up with former teammates, about 8-10 of whom were able to make the event.
