This week, we covered a platoon outfielder who is on Atlanta on the card but contributed to that Orioles Magic...it's Gary Roenicke! Roenicke was cast off from the Expos, but Earl Weaver found a good way to use him. Roenicke had good power and a great eye, he was the right handed hitter along with lefty John Lowenstein for some great Baltimore teams. He had his best season in 1982 and was amazing in the 1983 ALCS on his way to winning a ring for the O's.
