...Mickey Stanley filled in at short for the Tigers when they beat the Cardinals in 1968. In 1972, George Hendrick was Reggie Jackson's replacement in center field for the A's, but he played only a minor role in their Series win. Brain Doyle substituted for Willie Randoloph for the 1978 Yankees and hit over .400 as they best Los Angeles...

First basemen Keith Hemandez was also mired in mediocrity most of the year, but has finally pulled his act together, raising his average thirty points in the last month...
