Klesko was born and raised in California throughout the 1970’s and ‘80’s before debuting professionally with the Atlanta Braves in 1992. Serving thirteen seasons in the MLB, he spent the majority of his time with the Atlanta Braves and the San Diego Padres until playing his only and final professional season with the San Francisco Giants.
