The brother of pitcher Darrell Sutherland, Gary was a spray-hitting utility man for
Philadelphia when he was selected by Montreal in the 1968 expansion draft. He was
the Expos' second baseman for much of their first two seasons, but was sent down
in 1972 and sold to Houston. A regular again with Detroit, he led the Tigers with
157 hits in 1974. Sutherland was a backup guard on three UCLA national champion basketball
teams.
