Played left field. From Hawai'i. (And thus defiling El Sid's #50.). At least it wasn't the other scab from the 2000 team, the pitcher whose poor attitude earned him a name I probably can't use here.

(Also notable for being the guy who whined about how he had to take care of his family, even though he'd already been in MLB for seven years before the 1994 strike. And even though he'd been banking salaries made possible by players who risked serious management retaliation back when the minimum wage was only $10,000, instead of $109,000, as it was in 1994.

I had a whole digression about Lou Piniella and Torre and Rusty Staub and all the players who were "made examples of" for being part of the brief 1969 spring training boycott, but no reason to go that far afield, I guess. Anyways, I really hate that pitcher, and as popular as the left-fielder was in his brief career, I was very glad when it was over. JMO.)
