Weird. Just about all the time, I can read down through these lineups and each player rings a bell of some kind. But I draw a complete blank on Tommy Dean. Zip, nil, nada. Nary a clue.

Looked him up in baseball-reference and he was with the Pads for a while so he must have passed through my radar.
