14. But while Bonds moved around the league a lot, legendary Dodgers manager Walter Alston did not.

Before embarking on his career as a skipper, Alston kicked around in the minor leagues as a first baseman. In 1936, he got his one--and only--major league plate appearance. Ten points if you can select the correct outcome of that sole appearance.

b) Strikeout
