randall colter bean -lrb- born january 16 , 1977 -rrb- is a former major league baseball relief pitcher .
bean attended vestavia hills high school in birmingham before attending auburn university .
bean played in the college world series and was named all-sec second team in 2000 .
bean still holds the auburn team record with 108 games pitched and 106 games relieved in his ncaa career .
following his college graduation , the yankees signed bean as an undrafted free agent on may 31 , 2000 .
the boston red sox claimed bean as a rule 5 selection on december 13 , 2003 , before returning his rights to the yankees in the off-season on march 17 , 2004 .
bean made his major league debut with the yankees april 26 , 2005 , his only appearance with the yankees that season .
in 2006 , bean started the season on the columbus clippers but was called up on may 20 .
on august 15 , 2006 , bean apparently tied the clippers ' team record for career games pitched , when he made his 212th career appearance for columbus as the starter in a 2-1 win .
the previous record had been credited to bumpus jones , a 19th-century player .
however , modern research indicates that jones 's actual games pitched total may have been closer to 150 , in which case bean would have already held the record for some time .
the next-highest total behind bean and jones is george mcquillan , currently credited with 204 .
bean elected to become a six-year minor league free agent after the 2007 season .
he signed a minor league contract with the atlanta braves organization on february 8 , 2008 , but after being released by the braves , signed with olmecas de tabasco .
on may 8 , he signed a minor league deal with the tampa bay rays and became a free agent at the end of the season .
