Had most productive season filling in as Chisox #2 backstop in 1971, responded with 10 home runs and 34 RBI's were both career bests....took over for the departed Dwayne Josephson....otherwise an offensive liability.... signed by the Angels in 1964 stayed with club all of 1965 but used hardly ever ....got late year call ups...1969 spent entire year with big club but his output was a meager .142 BA.....was able to stay and gain playing in 1970 lift his BA to .238.....Traded to Chicago (AL) for 1971....White Sox years mustered a .222 BA  ....taken back by Angels in 1974 Rule 5 draft...hit .164 in his last two years...was the catcher in Nolan Ryan’s 3rd no hitter.
