A switch-hitter with power in the minors who was said to have had all the tools, Householder was continually expected to blossom, but never did. With the Reds in 1983, his .991 fielding percentage led all NL outfielders. When Milwaukee's Robin Yount had surgery in September 1985, Householder, given a last chance to play every day, hit eight homers for the month. (JCA)

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY » June 30, 1983: The Reds score eight runs in the first inning and go on to beat the visiting Giants, 15–5. Paul Householder drives in four runs, two on a freak inside-the-park homer. With Ron Oester on 1B, Householder hits a shallow fly that LF Chris Smith loses in the sun and it bounces over his head. Smith then slips going after the ball and the two baserunners race around the bases. Oester slides across the plate just ahead of Householder's slide, which is so close he spikes Oester's knee.
