Daniel J. McClellan (July 1, 1878 - March 10, 1962) was an American baseball pitcher and manager who starred for top-tier independent black teams before the Negro National League was founded. His career began about 1903,[1] and he continued as a playing manager and organizer of lesser teams well into the 1920s.
With the Cuban X-Giants in 1903 he pitched the earliest known perfect game in black baseball against a semi-pro team. He switched to the Philadelphia Giants during the 1904 season and pitched for them through 1906. The X-Giants were arguably the best black team in 1903, and the Philadelphia Giants were also arguably the best black team in those three years while McClellan and Rube Foster were regular pitchers. McClellan was described as a "smart pitcher ... to offset his lack of a substantial fastball" by blackball historian Jame Riley.
Sportswriters Harry Daniels and Jimmy Smith both named McClellan to their 1909 "All American Team."[3]
McClellan was named as "Dream Team" coach in the 1952 Pittsburgh Courier poll of outstanding black baseball players.[4]

Earth. Beautiful, isn't it? That is until we screwed everything up. My name is Amy Shields, college student of 3 days, 14 hours, 12 minutes. You know they tell you in high school how important it is to prepare for college, so that you can survive freshman year. Shoot...I'm just trying to survive the first week. Jack! Over here! Amy, this way! I hope you know how to throw. It's not working! Professor McClean? Beaker bombs...ain't chemistry cool? Come with me. Bring the cupcake. Hurry, hurry. That was close. Professor, where are you taking us? Back to the beginning! Stay tight, stay close, no texting. Beginning of what? Hurry up...hurry up! Access Granted. Brace yourselves. Eww. Oh my gosh. Careful, it could be armed and dangerous. Gross! Wait...we're going down? Down? How far down are we going, Professor? 33 floors. 33 floors?! 33 floors. What is this, a poetry recital? What could possibly be down here? It's a community college. Death. The beginning. Wait, technically speaking, isn't death the end? Not for a zombie. The government was partnering with us on some R and D. Research and development. They provided the latest advancements in biotechnology. We supply the eager young minds for tomorrow. To do what? This is where it happened. The beginning of the end. What is this place? So wait, the zombie apocalypse started here? But why? I'll tell you why, freshman. Because the students...ignored the 5 Rules of Lab Safety. I'm lost. Lab safety - it's chapter 1 in the textbook. Lab safety is NOT in a textbook. Lab safety is in here. Help him. I don't really want to. We have lab safety rules to go over, students. Listen closely. Ok, lab safety rule #1: Dress for lab. Long pants, closed-toe shoes. Good. That, not good. And this will never do. It's time for a lab makeover. Welcome to the lab, boys and girls. Lab safety rule #2: Personal protective equipment. Safety glasses on. Proceed. One item of importance, don't touch anything. Look out! Oh! Ha ha! It's not that bad. These nerds seem to know what they're doing. The ZOMBIE nerds. Looks can be deceiving, pretty boy. So you do like my face? No one said anything about your stupid face. Really? Lab safety rule #3: Always add your acid or base to the solvent. Never the other way around! Hey Einstein, check your Safety Data Sheets. That is cool. Proceed. Rule #4: Safety equipment. Here is the safety shower and eye wash station. GARR! Oops. Always know where your fire extinguisher is. You never know when it may come in handy. I like your style, freshman. Thank you, professor. That was hot. You're on fire. Thanks for hosing me off. Yeah, don't mention it. Let me know if I can return the favor. I got you covered. Safety rule #5: Lab Behavior. Clean up your mess...and no eating in the lab! We should get going. Right. Class dismissed. Oh. Running. Always dispose and then run. Dispose and run. Now run. Run fast! It's stuck. Get back. This way. Watch your step. Now you know the truth. There are other labs, other schools out there. They have to be warned. That's exactly right. We'll go with you, Professor. We know the 5 Rules now. I'm not leaving. But Professor... It's up to you now. Both of you. What will you do? Rule #5. I've got a mess to clean up. Spread the word. Watching the Professor leave, I knew then what I had to do. The war had begun, and only Jack and I had the cure. The 5 rules the professor had taught us. This is Amy Shields, college freshman, 3 days, 18 hours, 12 minutes & I'm still counting. If you're watching this, you are the resistance. Stay safe out there... and for freak's sake, follow the 5 rules of lab safety! [music] I will use lab safety knowledge To survive this zombie college. And if we don't make it through, at least we'll make an A. And these 5 rules I will acknowledge To survive this zombie college. And if we spread the word to your school We might just save the day. [music] Rule 1 - Dress for the lab, shoes that are closed. No jewelry and no skin exposed Rule 2 - Always wear correct PPE: glasses, gloves, and coats in the laboratory. Rule 3 - Chemical safety for sake's Pete! Refer to the safety data sheet. Rule 4 - Safety equipment locationÉfire blanket and eye wash station. Rule 5 - Lab behavior must be addressedÉno food, no drink, and clean your mess. And now I know. I will use lab safety knowledge to survive this zombie college. And if we don't make it through, at least we'll make an A. And these 5 rules I will acknowledge to survive this zombie college. And if we spread the word to your school, we might just save the day.
