Kingman also pitched at SC and threw a few innings for the Giants in ‘73 before being traded. And he wasn’t a jerk in his early Giants career at least to me. He could drag bunt and play ok defense. Something happened to him after he left the Giants.

Just an oddity, but when baseball had the collusion scandal, Dave Kingman received the largest settlement check ($829k) from the $9.7 mms. settlement fund.

Supposedly he started being a jerk during his third year as a Cub, which was his second All Star season in a row (he only made 2 all star teams). I think it was his age 30 or 31 year.
