[edit] Biographical Information
Jim was a scrappy, hustling little guy who toiled with the Red Sox, Kansas City Athletics and the Expos de Montreal among others. He played all 3 outfield positions, mostly CF.
He was an original Seattle Pilot, made slightly infamous by Jim Bouton in Ball Four for muttering the words "Yeah, Sure".
He was on both the 69 and 73 World Series-reaching Mets. In between he was shuttled around a few times. It is unknown whether or not he received World Series shares in New York.
He appears on his 1970 Topps card as a San Francisco Giant and he looks great in that uniform. Trouble is he never played a game as a Giant. Mets sent him to SF in the Ray Sadecki acquisition but he was sold to the Expos just 2 weeks into the 1970 season.
