BOOTS

If he had gone by his given name of Charles Day instead of using his childhood nickname, we probably wouldn't remember the month-and-a-half that he was a member of the Cubs during the 1970 season. Boots wasn't exactly one of the all-time great players, but he did kick around the majors for six seasons. The Cubs acquired him for pitcher Rich Nye, but he couldn't crack the lineup often enough. They traded him just a month into the season to the Montreal Expos for backup catcher Jack Hiatt. Boots had a grand total of eight at-bats for the Cubs and got two hits.
