[William Malone]

Mark Clifford Funderburk was born on May 16, 1957 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The Minnesota Twins drafted him in round 16 of the 1976 MLB Draft. He reached the Major League level in 1981, appearing in eight games with a .200 average and two RBI. Funderburk spent the entire 1982 season in the minor leagues, and was released by the organization that off-season.

He spent the next few seasons playing in various foreign leagues, coming back to the Twins on a minor league deal in 1985. Funderburk resurfaced at the Major League level later that year. He hit .314 with two home runs and 14 RBI during 23 games as a September call-up. Minnesota returned him to the minor leagues in 1986, and Funderburk stayed in their system through the end of 1987.
