RF Al Cowens (until he got beaned and broke his jaw).
in 1980, Hurdle played in right. And had his only truly decent year at the plate in the bigs.
Tom Poquette and Joe Zdeb platooned at one outfield spot sometime in that era, until Poquette ran into the wall (before it was padded). Poquette was never the same after. Al Cowens, btw, was never the same after he was beaned. Cowens was a rising star.
Jose Cardenal played one of the outfield spots. He struck out to end the 1980 WS.
