Bourque appeared in 14 games for the Cubs, hitting .189 with seven hits over 37 at-bats, including the first triple and home run of his brief four-year career.
He’d go on to play for the Cubs, Oakland A’s and Minnesota Twins between 1971 and 1974, hitting .215 with 12 homers and 61 runs batted in over 201 games and 405 at-bats, along with 87 hits and 36 runs scored.
In 1973 he played in the World Series for Oakland against the New York Mets, going 1-for-2 at the plate as the A’s went on to win their second straight championship, surely the high-point of his Big League tenure.
Now I need to find a usable image of him with his short time as a Minnesota Twins player at the end of his career in 1974!
