And one of 1970's many (Jim Hickman, Dick Dietz, Cito Gaston...) great fluke seasons:
1970: .287/.407/.597, 167 OPS+Career: .257/.347/.403, 111 OPS+
He had a couple other pretty good seasons in Montreal, but nothing like that.

I remember Bailey with Montreal, but not as a bench player/pinch hitter with the '76 Reds (141 PA, 0.5 WAR, .508 SLG).
