Well traveled career
reserve catcher…mostly played with the SF Giants 1965-70…signed as a free agent
by the first year Los Angeles Angels in 1961…worked his way up the farm
system…made it to AAA Hawaii where he hit .308 in 1964 and earned a cup of
coffee with the big club…Traded in off season to Giants…gradually gained more
playing time but pitcher seem to find out his weaknesses and hitting average
suffered…Finished out the 1969 season with the Giants with a .196 BA…Purchased
by the Expos prior to 1970 season…hit well in les Expo land but was quickly traded
to Cubs to replace a ailing Randy Hundley…Time with the Cub was the closest

at bats…finished out MLB career splitting time for Astros and original club California
Angels…Played in minors two years after leaving MLB.
