This has me scratching my head. No, not lice.
George Zeber played 25 games in 1977 as a backup 2B for Randolph on the Yankees. He hit .323 with 3 home runs. In 1978 he went 0-6.
He was originally drafted
June 7, 1968: Drafted by the
New York Yankees in the 5th round of the 1968 amateur draft.
So, I guess he spent the 1st 9 years down in the minor leagues.
So, what happen to him? He was just 27 years old in 1978, just reaching his prime. He did get a WS ring in 1977. Was he maybe sent back down to the minors and said the HELL with it, since he already had a WS ring?
Any diehard Yankee fans know the answer to this question? Did he win the lottery? Did his brother invent The Clapper and shared the wealth?
I am curious...
