hit .214 over that initial Major League action, collecting three hits
over fourteen at-bats with two runs scored and an RBI.
He
would appear in 57 games during the 1975 season, hitting .212 with 24
hits in 114 at-bats, scoring 15 runs and hitting the first two homers of
his career.

In between he suited up for the Chicago Cubs, San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals, putting in his best seasons with the Cubs in 1979 and 1980 when he hit a combined 42 home runs with 146 runs batted in.
