He made his debut on my 12th birthday September 13, 1969. He was an All-Star in 1973,1974, and 1975. He missed some time during the 71-73 season due to military service commitments. He was traded to the Phillies in 1973 for Ken Brett. He signed as a free agent with the Expos in 1976, who traded him to the Padres in 1979 for Billy Almon and Dan Briggs. He played his final season for the Padres in 1980 in 130 games, getting 90 hits and 1 home run, hitting .227. In 2008 he was the hitting coach for the Sussex Skyhawks in the Can-Am League.

I hate when scanners hack off borders.
Nice info on the first all black ML lineup. That's some inside info! And thanks for the package, I'm really looking forward to to it. I just got a bunch of my old autos from storage and will check out my Padre selection.
