Randy Hundley

Cecil Randolph Hundley Jr. (born June 1, 1942) is an American former professional baseball player and coach.

[7][8] In December 1965, he was traded to the Chicago Cubs along with future 20-game winner Bill Hands in exchange for Lindy McDaniel and Don Landrum, as part of first-year manager Leo Durocher's rebuilding effort.

[4] He also hit for the cycle on August 11, 1966, in a 9-8, 11 inning victory against the Houston Astros and set a National League record for most home runs by a rookie catcher with 19.

[19] By late June, Hundley's batting average was above .300 along with 11 home runs earning him a spot as a reserve for the National League team in the 1969 All-Star Game.

[22] By August 16, the Cubs were nine games ahead of the second place New York Mets and appeared to be on their way to winning the National League Eastern Division title.

He missed the first four games of the 1970 season when he suffered a chip fracture in his left thumb during a tag play at home plate.

[24][25] Worse was to come on April 21, 1970 when he suffered a severely sprained left knee during a collision at home plate with the Cardinals' Carl Taylor.

[27] He made his first appearance of the season as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning of a game on April 12, 1971 and collapsed after hitting a fly ball to center field.

[29] Hundley returned to play in 114 games for the Cubs in 1972 and led National League catchers with a .995 fielding percentage.

[38] After leaving the playing field, Hundley originated the idea of baseball fantasy camps, and since the early 1980s, has operated them to the delight of many a middle aged fan/camper and also to the former pro players who return to the uniform to help coach the teams.
