That’s Shawon Dunston on a 1997 Pacific Silver card, showing him in action for the Giants in 1996.
In 1997 the Chicago Cubs reacquired Dunston and, for the first time in his career, played him at a position other than shortstop. Shawon played a few games in left field in ’97, played a bit in both the infield and outfield in ’98, and then played mostly in the outfield after that.
The quiz has been solved. Congratulations to Richard Chester.
As mentioned, Dunston played in San Francisco in between his stints with the Cubs. The Giants would reacquire him twice more in subsequent years. Don’t know if that’s a record, but three separate stints with the same organization is probably pretty unusual.
But, I digress. Back to that 1997 season. In that year, Dunston accomplished something that had not been done for 75 years, and which has not been done since. What was it?
