Kind of sad to see Plesac’s numbers, he’s a sentimental fave.
He had personality. One game when he was with the Jays he snuck away from the bullpen and put on a groundskeeper uniform. During the 5th inning smoothing of the infield dirt he took the first base cutout/patch (this was of the time when the Skydome had astroturf).
All the while, Plesac is chatting with Otis Nixon, trying to distract him from the infield warm-up.
Plesac left with the grounds crew and then snuck back to the bullpen.
After the inning, Nixon comes back to the dugout, kind of astonished: “We’ve got a groundskeeper who looks just like Plesac!”
