A lefthanded slugger who usually plays right field or is the Twins DH, Bush has reached double figures in home runs in five of his six full ML seasons despite never recording 400 at bats. As a rookie in 1982, he broke up Jim Clancy's perfect game with a ninth-inning single on September 28, and in 1986 he tied an AL record with two consecutive pinch-hit home runs. (SCL)

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY » September 28, 1982: In the first game of a doubleheader, Toronto's Jim Clancy (15–14) is deprived of a no-hitter when the Twins Randy Bush leads off the 9th inning with a broken-bat single. Clancy had retired all 24 batters he faced before Bush singled, and settles for a 3–0 one-hitter. In game 2, the Twins stake starter Terry Felton (0-13) to a 3–0 lead but the Jays tie it up, knocking Felton out of his last ML game. The Jays win it, 4–3. » April 21, 1990: California's Bert Blyleven lasts just four innings, allowing seven runs in an 8–0 loss to Minnesota. Blyleven allows nine hits, including homers to Kent Hrbek and Randy Bush. He's now reached the 400 mark in gopher balls, 7th on the all-time list. West is the winner with help from Candelaria. » July 27, 1991: Dan Gladden's 3-run homer in the 9th enables the host Twins to beat Milwaukee, 7–4. Gladden's hit follows a bunt single by Shane Mack and a dribbler by Randy Bush. He has now driven in the winner in three straight games. » May 2, 1992: Yankee P Scott Sanderson becomes the 12th pitcher in history to surrender four home runs in a single inning. He is rocked in the 5th inning of the game against Minnesota by Shane Mack, Kirby Puckett, Kent Hrbek, and Randy Bush. The Twins need all the dingers as they win, 7–6.
