Del Bates 1970

Del Bates had one month in the majors and got 14 starts behind the plate as a 30-year old rookie with the Phillies - but he'd come close to playing for at least three other clubs.

He made the Braves' 1967 opening day roster but didn't get into a game, was in the depth chart for the Orioles after they got him early in 1968, and had been - as Dexter shows us - in the Angels' camp in 1966.
