2017 – Christian Bethancourt’s bid to become the first two-way player in the majors in over a decade does not get off to a good start. The former catcher pitching for the Padres on opening day relieves Jhoulys Chacin in the 4th with his team trailing the Dodgers, 7 – 1, and immediately uncorks wild pitches on his first two deliveries to the plate, both times scoring a run. He gets out of the inning when a couple of long fly balls are caught just shy of clearing the fence, but in the 5th, Corey Seager touches him for a three-run homer as Los Angeles goes on to win a 14 – 3 rout.

After a 14-year playing career, he led the “Impossible Dream” 1967 Boston Red Sox to the seventh game of the 1967 World Series in his first season as a major league manager, then won titles with the Oakland Athletics in 1972 and 1973, before quitting in disgust over owner Charlie Finley’s antics. A decade later, he returned to the Fall Classic with the San Diego Padres in 1984, which made him the first person – along with his opponent that year, Sparky Anderson – to manage a team from both leagues in the Series.
