Paul Popovich

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Edward Popovich (born August 18, 1940 in Flemington, West Virginia) was an infielder for the Chicago Cubs (1964, 1966-67 and 1969-73), Los Angeles Dodgers (1968-69) and Pittsburgh Pirates (1974-75).

He helped the Pirates win the 1974 and 1975 National League Eastern Division and was nicknamed Supersub for his utility work for the Cubs in 1969. The quality of his contribution did not stop manager Leo Durocher from commenting on one occasion, "Sit down, Paul, we ain't giving up yet."

In 11 seasons he played in 682 Games and had 1,732 At Bats, 176 Runs, 403 Hits, 42 Doubles, 9 Triples, 14 Home Runs, 134 RBI, 4 Stolen Bases, 127 Walks, .233 Batting Average, .286 On-base percentage, .292 Slugging Percentage, 505 Total Bases, 25 Sacrifice Hits, 17 Sacrifice Flies and 14 Intentional Walks.
