Randy Bush was the type of player we see consistently in modern baseball but was an oddity during his era of the 1980s and early 90s. Born in Dover, DE he went to the University of New Orleans before being drafted by the Twins in 1979. He would play his entire professional career with the Minnesota Twins.

Bush was a strict platoon player throughout his career, never accumulating more than 466 plate appearances in a season. As a left-handed platoon player, he was used as a corner outfielder, designated hitter, and occasionally at first base.
