Jack Cust! I have no idea why,..probably because he toiled in the minors for so long and then got called up and hit a bunch of bombs out of nowhere. The perfect Oakland A.
I just can't get Gates Brown out of my head! I assume he was after the DH rule, 'cause I seem to recall he was never anything BUT a DH (nor could he play any other position.....literally)! He was huge, and just not coordinated, I guess, to play in the field!
Nice refresher on Hal McRea, he was a gamer for the Royals. I had forgotten all about him and breaking his leg. As a pitcher, I loved the DH rule. After getting out of little league, I didn't want to face someone throwing in the 80's & 90's, and wasn't much of a batter. So always wanted someone else to bat for me. 😉
