Join us as we go Back When There Was Baseball to the 1970s and 1980s with our guest, Johnny Grubb. Johnny played in the Majors from 1972-1987 with the San Diego Padres, Cleveland Indians, Texas Rangers and Detroit Tigers. He was signed out of Florida State University and got to the Big Leagues in his 2nd season. Johnny hit .311 in his first full season with the Padres (1973). He was a solid player who could hit and also field. His career batting average is .278 and he was around that average each season which is a measure of his consistency. Johnny finally got a chance to play in the postseason in 1984 with Detroit and he talks about his experiences in the ALCS and World Series.
