He was signed by the Phillies at age 18, but he only amassed 24 at-bats over three seasons. In 1975, he was traded to the Braves for xxxx Allen and Johnny Oates, but in May, he was sent to the White Sox to complete a trade the Braves made for Allen. In 1978, he was traded to the Athletics, where his playing time diminished. After brief stints in Cleveland and Seattle, he retired in 1985 after being cut in spring training by the A's.
