Mike Cubbage

Biography
Michael Lee Cubbage (b. July 21, 1950, in Charlottesville, Virginia) was a Major League Baseball player. He was a three-sport star at Lane High School in his native Charlottesville, and many people in that football-oriented city expected him to become a football player. But he preferred baseball, and was drafted by the nearby Washington Senators. They had moved to Texas by the time he started in his first MLB game on April 7, 1974. He played for the Rangers, wearing uniform #4, until 1976 when he was traded to the Minnesota Twins (ironically, another former Washington Senators team!). The Twins assigned him uniform #26, and he played for them until 1960. He was then traded to the New York Mets, for whom he completed his MLB playing career in 1961 wearing #3.

Although Cubbage had been primarily a shortstop in high school, this was the only infield position he did not play in MLB, playing mostly second and third base, with a few games at first and a few as designated hitter.
