Rusty Kuntz, possessing one of the finest names in recent baseball history, was drafted by the White Sox in the 11th round of the 1977 draft. \u00a0He made his major league debut 2 years later, as a September call-up in 1979, starting in left field and going 0-3 in a 4-3 victory over the Tigers. \u00a0He appeared in 4 other games over the course of the final month of the 1979 season, finishing up with an anemic .091 average.<\/p>\n
