After spending all of 1970 in the Boston Red Sox Minor League system, he was back in 1971, now as a member of the Chicago White Sox, where he’d play into the 1975 season before getting traded to the Baltimore Orioles for pitcher Jesse Jefferson, before playing out his nine-year career with 15 games for the Milwaukee Brewers in 1978.
Never truly a full-time player, he retired with a .259 batting average, with 329 hits over 1268 at-bats in 663 games, with 123 runs scored and 117 RBIs.
He’d also go on to coaching and managing later on, heading the Kansas City Royals from 1997 and 2002, winning 317 games while losing 431.
