[edit] Biographical Information
An "iron man' behind the plate, Randy "Rebel" Hundley caught 160 games for the 1968 Chicago Cubs and caught 149 or more from 1966 to 1969. Originally a fair hitter, knee injures slowed him from 1970 on and he finished with just a .236 average following his retirement after the 1977 season. Hundley also played for the Minnesota Twins and San Diego Padres. Still a popular figure with Cubs fans, Hundley occasionally fills in on Cubs radio broadcasts for ex-teammate Ron Santo.
