By special request, here's a 1987 career-capper for former
infielder Jack Perconte, one of the more interesting that had one
excellent year in the Big Leagues, surrounded by partial years in their
career:
Originally up with the Los Angeles
Dodgers in 1980 for only 14 games, Perconte would play parts of five
years between 1980 and 1986, surrounding two seasons in 1984 and 1985
where he was a full-timer with the Seattle Mariners.
His 1984
season was very solid for the light-hitting middle infielder, when he
set career bests across the board, scoring 93 runs, collecting 180 hits,
hitting .294 over 689 plate appearances for Seattle.
He never
came close to those numbers again, though the following year he did
appear in 125 games for the Mariners, hitting .264 with 128 hits and 60
runs scored, and a career best 31 stolen bases.
By the time he
wrapped up his career with 24 games as a Chicago White Sox in 1986, he
finished with a very decent .270 career batting average, with 389 hits
in 1441 at-bats, with 191 runs scored and 78 stolen bases.
