According to Retrosheet Bill Plummer appeared in 9 games at third base. I have no recollection of that at all. Tony Perez must have been hurt not to have started this game. You would have thought Sparky would have had better options for 3b than Plummer too.Originally Posted by Big Klu

The Braves had a lot of players that didn't pan out in the early to mid 80's. Remember Brad Komminsk? He was another one.
