Quirk, who would eventually become mainly a catcher during his 18-year Major League career, originally saw action as an outfielder/third baseman during his 1st taste of the big leagues.
In 1975 he appeared in 14 games, batting .256 with 10 hits in 39 at-bats, while playing 10 games in the outfield with a couple over at third base.
Turns out he’d have three different stints with the Kansas City Royals, playing a combined 11-years for the organization, while also suiting up for seven other teams: Cardinals, Indians, Yankees, Orioles, White Sox and A’s between 1975 and 1992.
He finished his career with a .240 batting average, collecting 544 hits in 2266 at-bats over 984 games, while defensively playing every single position in the field but pitcher and center fielder.
