Gulden went hitless over four at-bats in those three games, and would then find himself as a member of the New York Yankees after being traded to the Bronx for Gary Thomasson in the off-season.
He’d get some playing time with the Yankees in 1979, albeit some of that because of the tragic death of Yankees captain Thurman Munson in August, appearing in 40 games while batting .163 with 15 hits over 92 at-bats.
Over the next three seasons he’d appear in a handful of games each year, with three different teams: Yankees, Seattle Mariners and Montreal Expos, before spending the entire 1983 year in the Minors.
Back to the Majors in 1984, now with the Cincinnati reds, he’d see the most playing time he’d get in any one season during his seven-year career, appearing in 107 games, batting .226 with 66 hits over 292 at-bats, with 31 runs scored and 33 runs batted in.
The following season however, he would play in the Minors yet again, splitting the year between the Astros and Reds organizations before coming back to play the final 17 games of his Big League career with the San Francisco Giants in 1986.
All told, Gulden played in 182 games in the Major Leagues, batting an even .200 with 87 hits over 435 at-bats between 1978 and 1986.
