Did he make *starts* there? Someone upthread posted the last instances of lefties playing third and I'm almost positive the only full-on starts since like the 1920s was Mattingly's series against the Mariners in 1985. I didn't go in and look at Squires' appearances but I thought they were all in relief. I could easily be wrong though...
