The Twins drafted him in the 10th round in 1966, and two years in the Army followed before he made the 1971 opening day roster out of Single-A. His best year was 1975, when he hit .302 with 11 home runs. The Mariners took him in the 1976 expansion draft, and Seattle traded him to Kansas City for Jim Colborn in 1978. He became a pinch-hitting specialist with the Cardinals, played on their 1982 World Series champions and retired as the franchise's career pinch-hit leader. He finished with a .271 average, 52 home runs and 388 RBI in 1,425 games, then coached the Red Sox minor league system as hitting coordinator from 1991 to 2002.
