Career
College years
Fahey went to Grayson County College winning the Junior College National Championship before transferring to the University of Texas, where he played baseball for a year. He hit .303 in 45 games as the Longhorns won the National Championship in 2002.
Baltimore Orioles
He was selected by the Baltimore Orioles in 12th round of the 2002 Major League Baseball draft out of the University of Texas. In 2006, he was called up from the Orioles Triple-A affiliate, the Ottawa Lynx, when regular second baseman Brian Roberts went on the disabled list. On May 16, 2006, Fahey hit his first career home run off Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Curt Schilling.
On September 21, 2008, during the last game played at Yankee Stadium, Fahey entered the game as a pinch runner and remained in the game to play shortstop. He recorded the last ever error in the history of the original Yankee Stadium during the bottom of the seventh inning, allowing Xavier Nady to reach first base.[1]
