What makes a player worth reporting on? During a season, he is relevant if he chips in during an important win. Perhaps he makes a key play in a clutch win against a division rival. Sometimes, we have no games to contemplate, and no expectations of any incoming. Off-beat writers have to divine a topic that is deep enough to provide articles for months. Obscure Cubs seem to have littered the roster through the years. Ron Dunn seems a fabulous starting point.
Dunn was a 1968 Orioles fifth-round pick in the June Draft.
