Alex Call is a right fielder<\/a> for the Los Angeles Dodgers. He grew up in River Falls. Call was traded to the Dodgers by the Washington Nationals in July.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There is an Eau Claire connection for both major leaguers as well. Both Varsho and Call once played for the Eau Claire Express. The Eau Claire Express offered them a congratulations on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another fun fact: Alex Call is the brother of former WQOW Anchor Bridget Curran.\u00a0<\/p>\n
