Sometimes unlikely players get hot. For Office it was in mid-1976 when he hit in
29 consecutive games, batting at a .397 clip. The skinny outfielder also made the
greatest defensive play in Atlanta Stadium history, falling over the seven-foot-high
centerfield fence to rob Mike Ivie of a homer in 1975.
