The three-minute appearance may not seem like much, but it meant the world to Kazmar and his family. It was Kazmar’s first major league game since Sept. 23, 2008 — a span of 4,589 days. “Definitely everything and then some,” said a beaming Kazmar after the game. He spent two seasons with the Padres’ Class AAA team. He was with the Seattle Mariners’ AAA team in 2011, was in the Mets’ system and joined Atlanta’s AAA team in Gwinnett in 2013.
