[edit] Biographical Information
Gary Moore played for the Los Angeles Dodgers in May 1970. Two of his three hits were triples and he stole a base.
Moore was at the University of Texas at the same time as Joe Hague. During his years in the Dodgers organization he pitched four times, but mostly played first base and outfield. In 1970 he hit .328 for Albuquerque in 104 games, adding 7 triples and 12 home runs. His teammates at Albuquerque that year included Steve Yeager (.278), Ron Cey (.331), Joe Ferguson (.305), Bob Gallagher (.336) and Doyle Alexander (3.15 ERA). In 1969 with Albuquerque his teammates included Steve Garvey and Bill Buckner, and Moore led the team in at-bats and hits as Garvey and Buckner both spent part of the season elsewhere.
Moore came to the majors at the time when TV host Garry Moore was hosting To Tell the Truth on television.
