michael william macha -lrb- born february 17 , 1954 in victoria , texas -rrb- is a former major league baseball player .
macha attended rice university , which has had many other well-known alumni .
at first , he was drafted in the 5th round -lrb- 103rd overall -rrb- of the 1975 amateur entry draft by the cleveland indians , but opted not to sign .
he was then drafted in the first round -lrb- 10th pick -rrb- of the 1976 amateur draft by the atlanta braves .
he did not fare well in his first professional season -- he hit only .248 .
his batting average gradually rose during his minor league tenure , and it rose high enough to make the braves call him up in 1979 when he was 25 years old .
he made his major league debut on april 20 , 1979 .
he did not fare well in his first major league stint , as his .154 batting average was unimpressive .
in late 1979 , macha was selected by the toronto blue jays in the rule 5 draft .
he started the next season on the blue jays ' roster .
again , his statistics were not major league quality , as he did n't get a single hit in 8 at-bats .
after his short time with the blue jays in 1980 , the detroit tigers purchased his contract only two days after his final game in the majors .
he finished out the year with their triple-a farm club , the evansville triplets , and did n't play any more baseball afterward .
his final major league game was may 26 , 1980 .
