Playing career, in brief: Paciorek played eighteen seasons in the major leagues for six teams as a backup outfielder and pinch hitter, only once playing more than 115 games in a season. Overall, in 1,392 games he hit .282 with 86 HR and 503 RBI.
Post-playing career, in brief: Paciorek was an announcer for several teams, most notably the White Sox. He is now retired.
My collection: I have 40 of his cards, from 1973 to 1988. I would be interested in trading for 1971 Topps #709.
Forgot to give away those Tigers cards on Saturday. Got three comments, running the randomizer:
Night Owl, I'll get the cards out to you next time I hit the post office, probably after Thanksgiving.
Pesky '71 Topps high numbers.
ReplyDelete18 years and only 1,392 games played is kind of an interesting stat about Paciorek. In 1981, he led all Mariners when he started 103 out of the 104 games he played. Had it not been for a strike, I'm guessing he would have eclipsed his career high of 126 games played.
