Mike Cubbage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Michael Lee Cubbage (born July 21, 1950) was an American baseball player who played Major League Baseball from 1974 until the close of the 1981 season. The son of Lindy and Marge Cubbage, he was drafted out of the University of Virginia in 1971 by the Washington Senators. He was called up to the Major League level by the Texas Rangers in 1974 and played there until he was traded to the Minnesota Twins in 1976. On June 27, 1978 he hit for the cycle against the Toronto Blue Jays. He later signed as a free agent with the New York Mets for the 1981 season. Throughout his playing career, he was considered somewhat of a utility player, playing mostly third base, but with stints at the first base, second base, and designated hitter positions.
In 1991, Cubbage managed the Mets in seven games, finishing with a career managerial record of three wins and four losses (.429).
