GREG GROSS

He was a slap-hitting outfielder (zero home runs in about 1500 at-bats) for the Astros (in their rainbow pajama uniform era) when the Cubs acquired him before the 1977 season. The Cubs made a run at the division title before fading at the end of the year, and Gross was a key member of that team as a fourth outfielder. He hit .322 in over 200 at bats. He even discovered a semi-power stroke, hitting six of his career home runs (he only hit 7 in 17 big league seasons) in a Cubs uniform.

Unfortunately for Greg, the guy playing ahead of him (Jerry Morales), had more power and a better mustache.
