| Fixed the spelling of Garcia and Barfield (shame on me), not to mention the title of the quiz.
Did a bit of a look-up for Ron Fairly as he was a bit before my time. According to Baseball-Reference.com, here is the breakdown of positions:
DH - 58, 1B - 40, OF - 33 (24 in right, 9 in left)
This would seem to imply that my source is wrong as the outfield was the least played of his positions during this season, unless of course he was specifically picked as one of the outfield reserve players.
A couple of other sources list him as a first baseman though. In the game itself, he pinch-hit for Pitcher Bill Campbell and was struck out by Tom Seaver. Sparky Lyle took Ron's spot in the lineup the next inning so he never actually took the field in the game. I've changed the position to 1B/DH which should cover this nicely. |
