Correct Todd-

Bobby Ojeda started on 9/24/1992 & Denys Reyes started on 7/13/1997

I thought that was pretty amazing!

The Team went 356-325 in the four plus seasons making the playoffs only twice (though one was a strike year)- being swept in 1995 & 1996.


A team that had already had Koufax and Valenzuela and was manage by another lefty, Tommy Lasorda.

Jus BAD KARMA!

Not only is Hardy the only player to pinch hit for Williams, he's also the only player to pinch hit for Maris and Yaz.

Here's another trivia question: this player hit a homer in his 1st mlb at bat, a triple in his 2nd and never hit another homer or triple again in a career that lasted over 10 years.
