- Del Unser backed up at all three OF positions and at 1B for the Montreal Expos in 1977. Del had to get used to being in a backup role. But the Expos had a good young outfield in the late 70s - LF Warren Cromartie, CF Andre Dawson, and RF Ellis Valentine.

Del Unser was one of my favorite Phillies after he joined the team in 1973. I was glad to see him return to the Phils in the early 80's as a superb pinch-hitter.
