}} Matthew Joseph White (born August 19, 1977 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts) is a retired Major League Baseball pitcher. He made news in 2007 not with his pitching, but for his possession of a potentially-lucrative stone quarry in his native Massachusetts. Baseball careerWhite attended Wahconah Regional High School in Dalton, Massachusetts and played his college baseball at Clemson. He was first drafted by the Cleveland Indians in the {{Baseball year|1998}} amateur draft. He has been through the Rule V Draft twice. In {{Baseball year|2002}}, he was drafted by the Boston Red Sox. In {{Baseball year|2003}}, he was drafted by the Colorado Rockies. White pitched in seven different organizations over nine seasons. He has three stints in the majors: he pitched three games for the Boston Red Sox in 2003 before being traded to the Seattle Mariners, for whom he pitched three more games in the same season. In {{Baseball year|2005}}, he pitched one game for the Washington Nationals. In seven major-league games, White pitched 9{{fraction|2|3}} innings with an 0-2 record. He allowed 17 hits, eight walks and 18 runs, for a 16.76 ERA and a WHIP of 2.59. In {{Baseball year|2006}} in the minor leagues, he played for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons, where he played 38 games, starting 13 of them. He had a record of 7-9 with a 3.58 ERA and 69 strikeouts. He also played for the Navegantes del Magallanes in the Venezuelan Winter League, where he went 2-4 in ten starts with a 3.40 ERA and 34 strikeouts. White was a non-roster invitee to the Los Angeles Dodgers in {{mlby|2007}}. In spring training, he only allowed one earned run in 7{{fraction|1|3}} innings.[1] However, he failed to make the major league roster and was optioned to the Las Vegas 51s, the Dodgers Triple-A team. He was 2-4 with a 3.83 ERA in 40 games out of the bullpen for the 51s during the 1st half of the 2007 Pacific Coast League season. On June 25, 2007, he asked for, and was granted, his release from the 51s so that he could sign a contract to play baseball in Japan. He signed with the Yokohama BayStars.[2] He was released on August 15, {{Baseball year|2008}}. On Jan. 2, 2010, The Uni-President 7-Eleven Lions of the CPBL(Taiwan) announced that they signed White for the 2010 season.[3] Rock discoveryIn 2003, White purchased {{convert|50|acre|m2}} of mountain real estate in Cummington, Massachusetts from his aunt for $50,000, giving her the money she needed to enter a nursing home. His original intention was to build his home, but he found the land to be too hard. When he called a surveyor out to inspect the land, the surveyor found that the land was solid Goshen stone, a type of mica schist estimated to be about 400 million years old. Estimates have placed the low estimate of the find at 24 million tons. At current prices (he has been selling the stone for over $100/ton), it is estimated to be worth around $2.5 billion, minus extraction costs. White has begun a small-scale extraction operation, Swift River Stone, and made $600,000 in 2006. He has expressed interest in selling the land, and believes he will get "several million dollars." When a story broke on most sports news outlets about him on February 28, 2007, some of his teammates in spring training started referring to him in the clubhouse as "Mr. Billionaire." In early 2009, White listed the 45± acre property with Boston-based real estate firm, LandVest, Inc., which specializes in the marketing of luxury residences, vacant land and resource-based properties, including timberland. The asking price for the property is available upon request. {{dead link|date=January 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} References1. ^The Official Site of Major League Baseball: News: Dodgers reassign 'The Billionaire' 2. ^Tanaka leads Eagles over Giants | The Japan Times Online 3. ^ {{dead link|date=January 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} External links{{Baseballstats|br=w/whitema03|fangraphs=1720}}, or [https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.cgi?id=white-002mat Baseball Reference (Minor, Winter, Japanese and Independent Leagues)], or Retrosheet{{DEFAULTSORT:White, Matt}} 30 : 1977 births|Living people|Águilas Cibaeñas players|Akron Aeros players|American expatriate baseball players in Japan|Baseball players from Massachusetts|Boston Red Sox players|Buffalo Bisons (minor league) players|Burlington Indians players|Caribbean Series players|Clemson Tigers baseball players|Columbus Red Stixx players|Kinston Indians players|Las Vegas 51s players|Major League Baseball pitchers|Navegantes del Magallanes players|New Orleans Zephyrs players|Omaha Royals players|Pastora de los Llanos players|Pawtucket Red Sox players|Pittsfield Colonials players|Portland Sea Dogs players|Sarasota Red Sox players|Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons players|Seattle Mariners players|Sportspeople from Boston|Sportspeople from Pittsfield, Massachusetts|Washington Nationals players|Watertown Indians players|Yokohama BayStars players |
