Tom Brunansky
Thomas Andrew Brunansky (born August 20, 1960 in Covina, California), nicknamed "Bruno", is a former right fielder in Major League Baseball who played from 1981 to 1994 for the California Angels, Minnesota Twins, St. Louis Cardinals, Boston Red Sox, and Milwaukee Brewers.
In a 14-season career, he batted .245 with 271 home runs and 919 RBIs in 1800 games. Brunansky averaged 24 home runs per 162 games. He had 69 life-time stolen bases and 306 doubles. He ended with 1543 career hits in 6289 at bats.
He was an All-Star in 1985 and was a starter for the World Champion 1987 Minnesota Twins. Just months after playing each other in the World Series, Tom Brunansky was traded in 1988 from the Minnesota Twins to the St. Louis Cardinals for second baseman Tom Herr, which many Twins fans consider to be the worst trade in team history.[citation needed] During most of his time with the Twins, he played with Kirby Puckett (center) and Dan Gladden (left).
In 1990, he was traded by the Cardinals to the Red Sox for closer Lee Smith.
