However, in the game, he is a right fielder.
This looks pretty similar to the Dennys/Chris Gomez issue I mentioned earlier. Those Giants minor leaguer pitchers sure do like stealing identities!

It turns out that Bobby and George Bonilla were born 3 days within each other, in February 1963. Maybe there's a import/merging script that needs to be adjusted?
